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
Pathology confirmed that the specimen was a grade IV poorly differentiated papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma.
The human ovarian cancer cell line, UACC-1598, was derived from the right ovary of an untreated 78-year-old female.
The UACC-1598 cell line expresses the N-myc oncogene, which is rarely amplified in ovarian cancers.
UACC-1598 cells express low levels of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor erbB2, and are negative for ras by ELISA assay.
A high copy number amplification of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A2 (eIF-5A2) oncogene was detected in this region.

Characteristics

Growth properties
Adherent
Derivation
The human ovarian cancer cell line, UACC-1598, was derived from the right ovary of an untreated 78-year-old female. Pathology confirmed that the specimen was a grade IV poorly differentiated papillary serous cystadenocarcinoma.
The UACC-1598 cell line contains high-level amplification at 3q26 in the form of double minute chromosomes. A high copy number amplification of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A2 (eIF-5A2) oncogene was detected in this region. Overexpression the eIF-5A2 oncogene may play an important role in ovarian cancer pathogenesis.

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
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Leibovitz's L-15 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2008. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium:
  • fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 5%
  • 0.01 mg/ml transferrin (final conc.)
  • 0.01 mg/ml insulin (final conc.)
  • 5 µg/mL (55 U/ml) catalase (final conc.)
  • 3.6 µg/mL (0.01 mM) hydrocortisone (final conc.)
  • 70 µg/mL (0.5mM) o-phosphoethanolamine (final conc.)
  • 10 ng/ml human recombinant epidermal growth factor (EGF) (final conc.)
  • 3 ng/ml (0.01 µM) estradiol (final conc.)
  • 0.8 ng/ml (1 pM) Na-L-thyroxine (final conc.)
  • extra 2 mM glutamine

Note: Do not filter complete medium.

Handling procedure

Handling Procedure for Frozen Cells

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTION: ATCC highly recommends that protective gloves and clothing always be used and a full face mask always be worn when handling frozen vials.  It is important to note that some vials 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 vessel exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris.

Subculturing procedure
Protocol:
Subculture when cells reach 80% to 90% confluence. These cells pile up and slough off the flask surface if they become over-confluent.
Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flasks; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.
  1. Remove and discard culture medium.
  2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with Ca++/Mg++ free Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (D-PBS) or 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin - 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum which contains trypsin inhibitor.
  3. Add 1.0 to 2.0 ml of Trypsin-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 37.0°C to facilitate dispersal.
  4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 ml of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.
  5. Transfer cell suspension to a centrifuge tube and spin at approximately 125 x g for 5 to 10 minutes. Discard supernatant.
  6. Resuspend the cell pellet in fresh growth medium. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
  7. Incubate cultures at 37.0°C in atmospheric air without additional CO2.
Subcultivation ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 is recommended.
Medium renewal: every 5 to 7 days
Note: These cells grow very slowly.
Reagents for cryopreservation
Complete growth medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum and 10% DMSO (ATCC 4-X)
