Permits and Restrictions	View Permits
Organism	Mus musculus, mouse
Tissue	Liver; stroma
Cell Type	Fibroblast SV40 immortalized, SV40 transformed
Product Format	frozen
Morphology	Fibroblast
Culture Properties	Adherent
Biosafety Level	2 [Cells contain SV-40 Viral DNA sequences] Appropriate safety procedures should always be used with this material. Laboratory safety is discussed in the following publication: *Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories*, 5th ed. HHS Publication No. (CDC) 93-8395. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office (2007). The entire text is available online at http://www.cdc.gov/biosafety/publications/bmbl5/index.htm. 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.
Age	14 to 14.5 day gestation embryo
Applications	SCRC-1007 can serve as a support layer for stem cells at 37°C; however, to insure that all AFT024 cells are mitotically inactive, irradiation or Mitomycin C treatment is recommended.
Storage Conditions	liquid nitrogen vapor phase

Derivation	This cell line, immortalized with temperature sensitive SV-40 T antigen, was derived from murine fetal liver stromal cells. They represent cells obtained from the microenvironment of the liver that support purified mouse and human CD34+CD38- hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells.
Comments	These cells represent cells obtained from the microenvironment of the liver that support purified mouse and human CD34+CD38- hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells. Delta-like (Dlk1) /preadipocyte factor-1 (pref-1) is preferentially expressed in AFT024 cells and functions as a positive stem cell regulator. Due to the presence of the temperature sensitive SV40 T antigen, the AFT024 cells must be grown at 33°C. At 33°C, T antigen binds anti-oncogenes and allows cell division. At higher temperatures, such as 37°C, T antigen is inactivated and the cells can no longer divide.

Complete Growth Medium	The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Catalog No. 30-2002. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: 2-mercaptoethanol to a final concentration of 0.05 mM; fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing	Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm² flask; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes. Remove and discard culture medium. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 1X PBS (Ca⁺²/Mg⁺²-free, ATCC SCRR-2201) to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin / 0.53 mM EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes). Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 33°C to facilitate dispersal. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting. Add appropriate aliquots of cell suspension to new culture vessels. Subcultivation ratio: 1:4 –1:8 Place culture vessels in incubators at 33°C. Note: For more information on enzymatic dissociation and subculturing of cell lines consult Chapter 10 in Culture of Animal Cells, a manual of Basic Technique by R. Ian Freshney, 3rd edition, published by Alan R. Liss, N.Y., 1994. Medium Renewal Two to three times weekly
Cryopreservation	Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
Culture Conditions	Atmosphere: Air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO₂), 5% Temperature: 33°C Max Temperature: 33°C Min Temperature: 31°C

Population Doubling Time	40 to 48 hrs
