A549 [A-549] Cell Line | CL-0016 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition

Media: CM-0016

Organism: Homo sapiens, Human

Application: Transfection host.

Background: Studies by M. Lieber, et al. revealed that A549 cells could synthesize lecithin with a high percentage of desaturated fatty acids utilizing the cytidine diphosphocholine pathway.

Age: 58 years

Tissue: Lung

Morphology: Epithelial

Growth Properties: Adherent

Doubling Time: ~40 hours

Biosafty: 1

Medium: Ham's F-12K(PM150910)+10% FBS+1% P/S(PB180120)

Subculturing: Remove and discard culture medium. Briefly rinse the cell layer with DPBS solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor. 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 2 to 3 minutes). Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal. Add 4.0 to 6.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
