Documentation

ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

Cells contain Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA sequences

ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.

Handling information

Unpacking and storage instructions
  1. Check all containers for leakage or breakage.
  2. Remove the frozen cells from the dry ice packaging and immediately place the cells at a temperature below ­-130°C, preferably in liquid nitrogen vapor, until ready for use.
Complete medium
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, ATCC 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (ATCC 30-2020) to a final concentration of 10%.
Temperature
37°C
Handling procedure

HANDLING PROCEDURE FOR FROZEN CELLS

- Initiate culture as soon as possible upon receipt.

- Thaw by rapid agitation in 37°C water bath. Thawing should be rapid (within

40-60 seconds). As soon as the ice is melted, remove the ampule from the water

bath. All of the operations from this point on should be carried out under

strict aseptic conditions.

- Transfer the cell suspension and dilute it with the recommended culture

medium in a culture flask (see specific batch information above for dilution

ratio); incubate at 37°C with 5% CO2 in air atmosphere. Since it is important

to avoid excessive alkalinity of the medium during recovery of the cells, it is

suggested that the culture medium be placed into the culture flask, tube, etc.

and the pH be adjusted, as necessary, prior to the addition of the vial

contents. Note that the bicarbonate content of the culture medium will

determine whether an atmosphere containing CO2 will be required.

- It is not necessary to remove the freezing additive. However, if desired,

the culture medium may be changed to remove the protective freezing additive

(dimethylsulfoxide) 24 hours after thawing. If it is desired that the freezing

additive be removed immediately, or that a more concentrated cell suspension be

obtained, centrifuge the above diluted suspension at approximately 200 x g for

10 minutes, discard the fluid and resuspend the cells with growth medium at the

dilution ratio given in the specific batch information above.

Subculturing procedure
Medium Renewal: Add fresh medium every 2 to 3 days (depending on cell density)
Cultures can be maintained by addition of fresh medium or replacement of medium. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation with subsequent resuspension in fresh medium at 3 - 5 x 10 exp5 viable cells/ml.
Maintain cultures at a cell concentration between 3 X 10 exp5 and 2 X 10 exp6 cells/ml.
Reagents for cryopreservation
Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO (ATCC 4-X)
