Description
ME-180 Cell Line | CL-0155 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition
Media: CM-0155
Organism: Homo sapiens, Human
Application: N/A
Background: Desmosomal attachments were observed between cells in monolayer culture and cytoplasmic tonofilaments were noted. Contamination with Mycoplasma arginini was detected and eliminated in 1970. Growth of ME-180 cells is inhibited by tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF alpha). The cells contain human papillomavirus(HPV) DNA with greater homology to HPV-39 than HPV-18.
Age: 66 years
Tissue: Cervix, derived from metastatic site: omentum
Morphology: Epithelial
Growth Properties: Adherent
Doubling Time: N/A
Biosafty: 2
Medium: McCoy's 5A(PM150710)+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.
Ratio: 1:2 to 1:4
Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Cryopreservation: Freeze medium: 60% Basal medium+30% FBS+10% DMSO Storage temperature: Liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Culture Conditions: Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5% Temperature: 37℃
Effects: Yes, in nude mice forms well differentiated epidermoid carcinoma(grade I).
Duration: N/A
Lead Time: 3-5 days
