Organism Homo sapiens, human
Tissue
mammary gland; breast
Cell Type Epithelial
Product Format frozen
Morphology epithelial
Culture Properties adherent
Biosafety Level 1
Disease fibrocystic disease
Age 36 years
Gender female
Applications
transfection host
Karyotype modal number = 40 to 43; XX; five marker chromosomes; double minutes
Derivation
MCA-10-2A was derived from adherent cells in the population.
The line was produced by long term culture in serum free medium with low Ca++ concentration.
This line was established from the same tumor material as MCF 10A (ATCC CRL-10317) and MCF 10F (ATCC CRL-10318).
Clinical Data
female
Markers
epidermal growth factor (EGF); insulin; glucocorticoid
Genes Expressed
cytokeratin 19. The cells are positive for epithelial cytokeratins and milk fat globule antigen.
Tumorigenic No
Comments
The MCF-10-2A cell line is a non-tumorigenic epithelial cell line that does not undergo senescence after exposure to high calcium levels.
The cells are positive for epithelial cytokeratins and milk fat globule antigen.
They exhibit three dimensional growth in collagen, and infrequently form domes in confluent cultures.
Complete Growth Medium A 1:1 mixture of Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium and Ham's F12 medium supplemented with 20 ng/ml epidermal growth factor, 100 ng/ml cholera toxin, 0.01 mg/ml insulin and 500 ng/ml hydrocortisone, 95%; horse serum, 5%
Subculturing
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:4 is recommended
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.03% 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.
Cryopreservation
culture medium 95%; DMSO, 5%
