Organism Homo sapiens, human
Tissue
mammary gland; breast
Product Format frozen
Morphology epithelial
Culture Properties adherent
Biosafety Level 1
Disease ductal carcinoma
Age 43 years
Gender female
Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Karyotype range = 58 to 64; abnormal banding region in 3p
Derivation
This cell line was established by A. Liebovitz and associates in 1986 from breast tissue removed at mastectomy to remove a ductal carcinoma (stage II, grade IV).
Clinical Data
female
Prior to surgery, the patient had received extensive chemotherapy.
Receptor Expression
Receptor expression: estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor
Comments
Prior to surgery, the patient had received extensive chemotherapy.
The cells exhibit a 15 fold amplification of the HER-2/neu oncogene sequence.
They are negative for estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors and P glycoprotein.
Complete Growth Medium Leibovitz's L-15 medium with 2 mM L-glutamine supplemented with 20 ng/ml human EGF and 20% fetal bovine serum
Subculturing
  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: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:3 is recommended
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, 100%
Temperature: 37°C
Incubation: The cells grow very slowly, and growth is enhanced by using 20% fetal bovine serum and adding epidermal growth factor (20 ng/mL) to the medium.
