Permits and Restrictions

View Permits View Restrictions
Organism Oryctolagus cuniculus, rabbit
Cell Type infected with HTLV-I
Product Format frozen
Morphology lymphoblast
Culture Properties suspension, multicell aggregates
Biosafety Level 2 Cells infected with HTLV-I virus
Disease cutaneous T cell lymphoma
Age 4.5 years
Gender male
Applications
The RHCT-138 cell line was derived from a skin biopsy taken from an HTLV-1 infected rabbit (X138) with cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL).
Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Derivation
The RHCT-138 cell line was derived from a skin biopsy taken from an HTLV-1 infected rabbit (X138) with cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL).
The rabbit developed chronic HTLV-1 infection after inoculation with the infected rabbit T cell line RH/K34 (see ATCC CRL-2560).
Approximately 20 months after inoculation, the rabbit developed a generalized exfoliative papillated dermatopathy. Cutaneous lesions were biopsied.
Clinical Data
male
Genes Expressed
HTLV-I (human T cell leukemia virus)
Comments
The RHCT-138 cell line was derived from a skin biopsy taken from an HTLV-1 infected rabbit (X138) with cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL).
The rabbit developed chronic HTLV-1 infection after inoculation with the infected rabbit T cell line RH/K34 (see ATCC CRL-2560).
Approximately 20 months after inoculation, the rabbit developed a generalized exfoliative papillated dermatopathy. Cutaneous lesions were biopsied.
The cell line harbors productively infected, monoclonally integrated, full length HTLV-1.
The HTLV-1 sequences in the skin likely represent the presence of infected T cells in epidermotropic lymphoid infiltrates.
Complete Growth Medium RPMI 1640 medium with 2 mM L-glutamine adjusted to contain 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate, 4.5 g/L glucose, 10 mM HEPES, and 1.0 mM sodium pyruvate supplemented with an additional 2 mM L-glutamine, 80%; fetal bovine serum, 20%
Subculturing
Protocol: Cultures can be maintained by addition of fresh medium or replacement of medium. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation with subsequent resuspension in fresh medium at 5 X 10(5) viable cells/ml.
Interval: Maintain cultures at cell concentrations between 5 X 10(5) and 2 X 10(6) viable cells/ml.
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Cryopreservation
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Culture Conditions
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
Temperature: 37.0°C
