Culture Properties Adherent
Biosafety Level 1
Age 14 days gestation embryo
Gender Male and female mixed
Strain CF-1, non-inbred mouse strain (non-agouti albino) from Carworth Farms
Applications
Mitomycin-C treated cells for use as feeder layer
Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Clinical Data

Comments
These cells are provided for use as feeder cells to support the growth of stem cells in the undifferentiated state. They have been treated with Mitomycin C at passage #3 and will not replicate. The cells will begin to deteriorate 7 days 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:
  • fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 15%

    • This medium is formulated for use with a 5% CO2 in air atmosphere. (Standard DMEM formulations contain 3.7 g/L sodium bicarbonate and a 10% CO2 in air atmosphere is then recommended).
    Subculturing

    Once the feeder cells have attached, the culture medium can be changed to accommodate the cells to be supported. It is recommended that the feeder cells be plated 24 hours before use at 6 X 104 cells/cm2 in order to obtain a supportive monolayer for stem cell growth.
