LS 174T (ATCC^® CL-188^™)

LS 174T is a variant of LS 180 (ATCC CL-187) that has been maintained by using trypsin in the subculture protocol. It is more easily subcultivated than that parent line and, like LS 180, it is reported to produce large amounts of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA).

Electron microscopic studies revealed abundant microvilli and intracytoplasmic mucin vacuoles [Pubmed ID: 1262041].

They are negative for p53 antigen expression, but positive for mRNA expression.

LS 174T cells stain positively for cytokeratins.

1. Remove and discard culture medium.
2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin- 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor.
3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes).
   Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal.
4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.
5. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
6. Incubate cultures at 37°C.

Tumors developed within 21 days at 100% frequency (5/5) in nude mice inoculated subcutaneously with 10(7) cells

The cell line was established from a Duke's type B adenocarcinoma of the colon. The tissue was minced and cultured without transfer for 10 months.

The production of CEA in the ATCC seed stock was 1944 ng per 10(6) cells in 10 days.
