To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: bovine calf serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing: Never allow culture to become completely confluent. Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.53 mM EDTA solution. Remove the solution and add an additional 1 to 2 ml of trypsin-EDTA solution. Allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or at 37C) until the cells detach. Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks. For plates (50mm) use an inoculum of 3 X 10 exp5 cells per plate and subculture every 3 days. For 75 sq cm flasks use 4 X 10 exp5 cells per flask and subculture every 3 days.
Medium Renewal: Twice per week
Doubling Time: 18 hrs

The cells are contact inhibited.
A confluent monolayer yields 40000 cells/sq cm.
Tested and found negative for ectromelia virus (mousepox).
The cells should be grown in plastic flasks, they do not grow well on some types of glass surfaces.
A saturation density of approximately 50000 cells per sq cm can be reached. | | ATCC: | CCL-92 | | Biosafety: | 1 |
