Organism Homo sapiens, human
Tissue
mammary gland/breast
Cell Type Epithelial, Myoepithelial
Product Format frozen
Morphology fibroblast
Culture Properties adherent
Biosafety Level 1
Disease Carcinoma
Age 74 years
Gender female
Ethnicity Caucasian
Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Karyotype modal number = 46; range = 42 to 48..
This is a diploid human cell line with 46,XX karyotype. Polyploidy occurred at 6.9%. Both X chromosomes were normal. The chromosome N9 pair was heteromorphic for the centromeric heterochromatin having one with the normal size and the other about twice the size of the normal.
Images
Derivation
Hs 578Bst was derived by A.J. Hackett, et al. from normal breast tissue peripheral to an infiltrating ductal carcinoma which was the source for Hs 578T (see ATCC HTB-126).
Clinical Data
74 years
Caucasian
female
Receptor Expression
Receptor expression: epidermal growth factor (EGF)
Comments

Hs 578Bst may have been myoepithelial in origin since the cells possessed microfilaments and clusters of pinocytotic vesicles similar to those seen in myoepithelia in vivo.

No desmosomes were observed, estrogen receptor protein was not present, and no endogenous viruses were detected.

A frozen ampule at unknown population doubling (PDL) was received at the ATCC in 1983. Cells had the potential to reach approximately 22 more population doublings before the onset of senescence. See Batch Specific information for PDL of current Distribution freeze.

Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC Hybri-Care Medium, Catalog No. 46-X. Hybri-Care Medium is supplied as a powder and should be reconstituted in 1 L cell-culture-grade water and supplemented with 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: 30 ng/ml mouse EGF; fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing
Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.53 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 37°C) until the cells detach. Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:8 is recommended
Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
Cryopreservation
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Culture Conditions
Temperature: 37°C
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
