Organism: Homo sapiens, human  /  Cell Type: epithelialtransformed with adenovirus 5 DNA

Permits Notice: Necessary Permits

These permits may be required for shipping this product:

  • Customers located in the state of Hawaii will need to contact the Hawaii Department of Agriculture to determine if an Import Permit is required. A copy of the permit or documentation that a permit is not required must be sent to ATCC in advance of shipment.
Organism Homo sapiens, human
Cell Type epithelialtransformed with adenovirus 5 DNA
Product Format frozen
Morphology epithelial
Culture Properties adherent
Biosafety Level 2 Cells contain adenovirus 5 DNA sequences
Age fetus
Applications
Individual clones were isolated and tested for the ability to produce high titer beta galactosidase expressing retroviruses.
The amphotropic envelope expressing construct, pCripAMgag- which contains mutations in the gag region, lacks the packaging site, and replaces the 3' LTR, was transfected into Anjou 65 cells along with a plasmid expressing the gp resistance gene.
Bing is an amphotropic envelope-expressing packaging line derived from the 293T cell line.
Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Derivation
Bing is an amphotropic envelope-expressing packaging line derived from the 293T cell line. The 293T/17 cell line is a derivative of the 293T (293tsA1609neo) cell line. 293T is a highly transfectable derivative of the 293 cell line into which the temperature sensitive gene for SV40 T-antigen was inserted. 293T cells were cloned and the clones tested with the pBND and pZAP vectors to obtain a line capable of producing high titers of infectious retrovirus, 293T/17 (see ATCC CRL-11268). 293T/17 cells were cotransfected with the pCRIPenv- and the pCRIPgag-2 vectors to obtain the ANJOU 65 (see ATCC CRL-11269) cell line. The amphotropic envelope expressing construct, pCripAMgag- which contains mutations in the gag region, lacks the packaging site, and replaces the 3' LTR, was transfected into Anjou 65 cells along with a plasmid expressing the gp resistance gene. Individual clones were isolated and tested for the ability to produce high titer beta galactosidase expressing retroviruses. One clone produced betagal retrovirus with a titer in excess of 10(6)/ml following transfection with pBND8. Two rounds of limiting dilution subcloning were performed subsequently, giving rise to the CAK8, or Bing cell line.

Complete Growth Medium Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium with 4 mM L-glutamine that is modified by ATCC to contain 4.5 g/L glucose and 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate and supplemented with an additional 2 mM L-glutamine, 2176 ng/ml Aminopterin, 0.00978 mg/ml Thymidine, 0.0136 mg/ml Hypoxanthine, 0.025 mg/ml Mycophenolic acid, 0.250 mg/ml Xanthine and 10% dialyzed fetal bovine serum
Subculturing
Protocol:
  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.
Subcultivation Ratio: 1:4 to 1:6
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Cryopreservation
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Culture Conditions
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
Temperature: 37.0°C
Name of Depositor Rockefeller Univ.
