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.

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.

Detailed product information

General

Specific applications
produces protein glucose-6-phosphate isomerase neuroleukin

Characteristics

Growth properties
Adherent
Derivation
This cell line was produced by cotransfection with neuroleukin and dihydrofolate reductase transcription units.
pAdD26SVp(A)3 was constructed by cloning the mouse dihydrofolate reductase cDNA from the plasmid pAdD26-1 into the vector, pSVOd. A 900 bp BclI/PstI fragment of SV40 containing the early polyadenylation site was inserted.
Genes expressed
glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (neuroleukin) [Nlk*]
Comments
Cotransfection and cointegration of pAdNLK and pAdD26SVp(A)3 enables the SV40 enhancer element of pAdNLK to activate the mouse dihydrofolate reductase transcription unit of pAdD26SVp(A)3.
This cell line was produced by cotransfection with neuroleukin and dihydrofolate reductase transcription units.
Production of neuroleukin was increased by selection with methotrexate.
Recently, it has been shown that the polypeptide neuroleukin is in fact glucophosphoisomerase.
pAdNLK contains the SV40 enhancer, the mouse neuroleukin cDNA, the mouse dihydrofolate reductase cDNA, the SV40 polyadenylation sequence, and pBR322 sequences minus the inhibitory sequences from 1424 to 2490.
pAdD26SVp(A)3 contains the adenovirus major late promoter (AdMLP), the mouse dihydrofolate reductase cDNA, the SV40 polyadenylation sequence, pBR322 sequences minus the inhibitory sequences from 1424 to 2490, and the SV40 origin of replication.
The pAdNLK insert contains the complete nucleotide sequence and 5' and 3' untranslated sequences.
The cell line CHO-IC6 also contains pAdD26SVp(A)3.
Selection of the parental line for growth in methotrexate (MTX) coamplified MTX resistance and neuroleukin secretion. CHO-IC6 secretes 4.4 ug neuroleukin per 10(7) cells per 24 hr.
pAdD26SVp(A)3 was constructed by cloning the mouse dihydrofolate reductase cDNA from the plasmid pAdD26-1 into the vector, pSVOd. A 900 bp BclI/PstI fragment of SV40 containing the early polyadenylation site was inserted.

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
Alpha minimum essential medium with 2 mM L-glutamine and 20 nM methotrexate, 90%; fetal bovine serum, 10%
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 and immerse in 70% ethanol at room temperature. 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 ampule

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 125 xg 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
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended
Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
Remove medium, rinse monolayer with fresh 0.25% trypsin solution, remove trypsin and let the culture sit at room temperature (or 37C) until the cells detach (about 10 minutes). Add fresh medium, aspirate and dispense into new flasks.
