|
ACL-4 medium (serum-free) The base medium for this cell line is ATCC formulated DMEM: F12 Medium Catalog No. 30-2006. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium:- 0.02 mg/ml insulin
- 0.01 mg/ml transferrin
- 25 nM sodium selenite (final conc.)
- 50 nM Hydrocortisone (final conc.)
- 1 ng/ml Epidermal Growth Factor (do not filter)
- 0.01 mM ethanolamine (final conc.)
- 0.01 mM phosphorylethanolamine (final conc.)
- 100 pM triiodothyronine (final conc.)
- 0.5% (w/v) bovine serum albumin (final conc.)
- 10 mM HEPES
- 0.5 mM sodium pyruvate (final conc.)
- extra 2mM L-glutamine (for final conc. of 4.5mM)

Subculturing
|
Cultures can be maintained by addition of fresh medium or replacement of medium. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation of the suspension with subsequent resuspension in fresh medium. Add medium as the cell density increases.
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days

Cryopreservation
|
Culture medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
