Abstract
An amalgamation of cell line data in the lab. Its origin and standard culture conditions.
Overview
Overview
All cells are maintained in humidified incubators at 37°C, 5% CO2, unless otherwise specified.
All cells are routinely tested for mycoplasma infection using a PCR-based test (Universal Mycoplasma Detection Kit, ATCC Cat. No. 30-1012K)
Dates of purchase are provided. Aliquots of purchased cells lines are frozen at P0, P1 and P2 from original stocks and P2 are defrosted and used for experimentation as standard.
Cell lines confirmed by short tandem repeat analysis are marked with *.
Media for cell lines:
R10: RPMI (Gibco Cat. No. 2240-089) + 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco Cat. No. 26140079) + 100 U/mL Penicillin and Streptomycin (Gibco Cat. No. 15140122)
D10: DMEM (Corning Cat. No. MT10013CV) + 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco Cat. No. 26140079) + 100 U/mL Penicillin and Streptomycin (Gibco Cat. No. 15140122)
D10-SP (without sodium pyruvate): DMEM (Corning Cat. No. 10-017-CV) + 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco Cat. No. 26140079) + 100 U/mL Penicillin and Streptomycin (Gibco Cat. No. 15140122).
Unless otherwise indicated, adherent cells are passaged using trypsin-EDTA (0.05%, Gibco Cat. No. 25300054). Some lines require 0.25% trypsin/1mM EDTA without Ca2+ Mg2+ (EMD Millipore, Cat. No. SM-2003-C), or this buffer diluted to 0.2% trypsin.
Cells transfected with plasmid are maintained with blasticidin (Thermo Fischer Scientific, Cat. No. A1113903) or puromycin (Sigma Aldrich, Cat. No. P9620-10ML).
