Arbo

CRL-3631

Arbo was established from a NOTCH2 R2400*-mutated blastoid MCL cell line, isolated from a malignant pleural effusion of a patient with MCL (Lymphoma; Mantle Cell; Stage IV, high grade). These cells may be used in the investigation of pediatric medulloblastoma and neuroscience research.

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.

Tumorigenic
Yes; This cell line will grow as xenografts in immunosuppressed mice.
Oncogene
Depositor states that cells positive for CD5, CD19, CD20, CD22, and CD23, and negative for CD2, CD3, CD7, CD10, and CD71. Cells contain NOTCH2 R2400* mutation with expression of CD23. Cells are resistant to venetoclax.
Comments
Arbo cells were isolated by obtaining a sample of pleural effusion from a 69 year old Caucasian male. Mononuclear cells were then isolated from the sample by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation.

Handling information

Complete medium

The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated DMEM (ATCC 30-2002). To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium:

  • Fetal bovine serum (FBS; ATCC 30-2020) to a final concentration of 10%
  • L-Glutamine (ATCC 30-2214) to a final concentration of 2 mM
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.

  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer the vial contents to a centrifuge tube containing 9.0 mL complete culture medium and spin at approximately 125 to 400 x g for 8 to 12 minutes.
  4. Carefully aspirate the supernatant and discard, leaving the cell pellet.
  5. Gently resuspend the cell pellet in 15 mL fresh pre-warmed complete growth medium, and transfer cell suspension into a vented, T75 flask.
  6. Place the flask in a 37°C incubator with 5% CO2 .
Subculturing procedure
Re-seed cells at log phase every 2-5 days when there are numerous, healthy-appearing clusters present in suspension. Pre-warm fresh growth medium prior to use. Swirl the flask gently to evenly distribute cells in medium. 
Cultures can be maintained by addition or replacement of fresh medium. Do not over dilute cell culture, it is recommended to add equal volumes of fresh media and perform full changes via centrifugation if media appears acidic.
1. For acidic cultures, centrifuge cells for 5-12 min at 170 to 400 x g.
2. Discard spent media and re-suspend cell pellet in pre-warmed fresh complete growth media.
3. Pipette cells gently to break aggregates.
4. Add the cell suspension to a vented flask. 
5. Place the flask in a 37°C incubator with 5% CO2
Note: Due to large, tight clusters formed by these cells, it may be difficult to accurately measure cell number and viability. Cultures can be maintained by the addition of fresh medium when there are numerous, healthy-appearing clusters present in suspension and pH of medium has decreased. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation with subsequent resuspension in fresh medium.
Reagents for cryopreservation
Complete culture medium + 5% DMSO (ATCC 4-X)
