Biosafety Level 1

Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
Disease teratocarcinoma
Age 12 years
Gender female
Ethnicity Caucasian
Derivation
The line was established from cells taken from ascitic fluid.
Clinical Data
12 years
Caucasian
female
Antigen Expression
HLA A28, B12
Oncogene N-ras + (activated)
Tumorigenic Yes
Effects
Yes, Tumors developed within 21 days at 100% frequency (5/5) in nude mice inoculated subcutaneously with 10(7) cells.
Comments
The cells form tightly knit colonies, and differentiate to form embryoid bodies when cultured in low serum concentration, or at low plating densities or when treated with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine.

The embryonic antigen PCC4 is expressed, but F9 is not detectable.
Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium, Catalog No. 30-2003. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing
Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.03% 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 1:4 to 1:10 is recommended
Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
Cryopreservation
culture medium 95%; DMSO, 5%
