Derivation	Cells of this line contain HeLa marker chromosomes, and were derived via HeLa contamination. This line was originally thought to be derived from an epidermoid carcinoma of the larynx, but was subsequently found, based on isoenzyme analysis, HeLa marker chromosomes, and DNA fingerprinting, to have been established via HeLa cell contamination. The cells are positive for keratin by immunoperoxidase staining.
Genes Expressed	keratin,The cells are positive for keratin by immunoperoxidase staining.
Virus Susceptibility	Human adenovirus 3 Human poliovirus 1 Vesicular stomatitis virus
Comments	Cells of this line contain HeLa marker chromosomes, and were derived via HeLa contamination. This line was originally thought to be derived from an epidermoid carcinoma of the larynx, but was subsequently found, based on isoenzyme analysis, HeLa marker chromosomes, and DNA fingerprinting, to have been established via HeLa cell contamination. The cells are positive for keratin by immunoperoxidase staining.

Complete Growth Medium	The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium, Catalog No. 30-2003. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing	Protocol: Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.053 mM EDTA solution. Remove the solution and add an additional 1 to 2 ml of trypsin-EDTA solution. Allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or at 37C) until the cells detach. Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks. Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:4 to 1:10 is recommended Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
Cryopreservation	Freeze medium: culture medium 95%; DMSO, 5% Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Culture Conditions	Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO₂), 5% Temperature: 37.0°C
