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
-
Suzanne Epstein that reacts with the gp120 of HIV-1.In ELISA the antibody reacts strongly with rgp120 IIIB, but does not react with gp120 MN.The antibody does not bind to the gp120 synthetic peptides that were used to map antibody reactivity, but did cross block antibody 46-2 (see ATCC CRL-2186) and antibody 46-3 (see ATCC CRL-2191).

-
Animals were repeatedly immunized with recombinant gp120 (rgp120) from a single isolate of HIV-1 (IIIB).Spleen cells were fused with Sp2/0-Ag14 myeloma cells.46-4 is one of a panel of antibodies developed by Dr. Suzanne Epstein that reacts with the gp120 of HIV-1.In ELISA the antibody reacts strongly with rgp120 IIIB, but does not react with gp120 MN.The antibody does not bind to the gp120 synthetic peptides that were used to map antibody reactivity, but did cross block antibody 46-2 (see ATCC CRL-2186) and antibody 46-3 (see ATCC CRL-2191).
Handling information
- Unpacking and storage instructions
-
- Check all containers for leakage or breakage.
- 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
- The base medium for this cell line is ATCC Hybri-Care Medium, Catalog No. 46-X. Hybri-Care Medium is supplied as a powder and should be reconstituted in 1 L cell-culture-grade water and supplemented with 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
- Temperature
-
37°C
- Atmosphere
-
95% Air, 5% CO2
- Handling procedure
-
To insure the highest level of viability, thaw the vial and initiate the culture as soon as possible upon receipt. If upon arrival, continued storage of the frozen culture is necessary, it should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at –70°C. Storage at –70°C will result in loss of viability.
- Thaw the vial by gentle agitation in a 37°C water bath. To reduce the possibility of contamination, keep the O-ring and cap out of the water. Thawing should be rapid (approximately 2 minutes).
- Remove the vial from the water bath as soon as the contents are thawed, and decontaminate by dipping in or spraying with 70% ethanol. All of the operations from this point on should be carried out under strict aseptic conditions.
- Transfer the vial contents to a centrifuge tube containing 9.0 mL complete growth medium and spin at approximately 125 x g for 5 to 7 minutes. Discard supernatant.
- Resuspend the cell pellet with the recommended complete growth medium (see the specific batch information for the culture recommended dilution ratio) and dispense into a 25 cm2 or a 75 cm2 culture flask. It is important to avoid excessive alkalinity of the medium during recovery of the cells. It is suggested that, prior to the addition of the vial contents, the culture vessel containing the complete growth medium be placed into the incubator for at least 15 minutes to allow the medium to reach its normal pH (7.0 to 7.6).
- Incubate the culture at 37°C in a suitable incubator. A 5% CO2 in air atmosphere is recommended if using the medium described on this product sheet.
- Subculturing procedure
-
Cultures can be maintained by addition or replacement of fresh medium. Start cultures at 2 x 105 cells/mL and maintain between 1 x 105 mL and 1 x 106 cells/mL.
Medium Renewal: Two to three times weekly - Reagents for cryopreservation
- Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO (ATCC 4-X)
