Applications
These cells are provided to be used as feeder cells to support the growth of other cells.
Comments
The cells have been irradiated and will not replicate.
It is recommended that the feeder cells be plated 24 hours before use.
Once the feeder cells have attached, the culture medium may be changed to accommodate the cells to be supported.
These cells will begin to deteriorate in 2 to 3 weeks after plating.
Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Catalog No. 30-2002. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: bovine calf serum to a final concentration of 10%.
