Applications
PFSK-1 cells form colonies in soft agar, and lack contact inhibition.
They express the intermediate filament protein, nestin, and are positive for neuron specific enolase (NSE).
They lack characterisics of terminally differentiated neurons or glia.
Restriction fragment length polymorphism studies showed loss of heterozygosity for multiple loci on chromosome 17.
Neither c-myc nor N-myc is amplified or re-arranged.
Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor temperature

Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing
Protocol: Remove medium, and rinse the monolayer with fresh 0.25% trypsin, 0.03% EDTA solution. Remove the trypsin solution, add fresh trypsin - EDTA (1 to 2 ml), and let the culture sit at room temperature (or at 37C) until the cells detach (about 5 to 10 minutes). Add fresh medium, aspirate and dispense into new flasks.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:4 to 1:10 is recommended
Medium Renewal: 2 times per week
Cryopreservation
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor temperature
