Culture Medium: The base medium for this cell line is MEBM, which is supplied as part of the MEGM Bullet Kit. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: All MEGM SingleQuot additives that are supplied with the kit except the GA-1000 (BPE 13 mg/ml, 2 ml; hydrocortisone 0.5 mg/ml, 0.5 ml; hEGF 10 ug/ml, 0.5 ml; insulin 5 mg/ml, 0.5 ml); 100 ng/ml cholera toxin (sold separately). Subculturing: Remove medium and rinse monolayer with PBS (ATCC Cat# 30-2200).Add 3.0 ml 0.05% trypsin, 0.53 mM EDTA and incubate at 37C for 15 minutes. To neutralize trypsin, add 3 ml solution of 0.1% soybean trypsin inhibitor.Centrifuge cell suspension at 125 xg for 5 to 10 minutes.Resuspend cell pellet in complete culture medium. Add appropriate aliquots of cell suspension to new culture vessels. Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:4 is recommended Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase

Additional Info: The MCF 10A cell line is a non-tumorigenic epithelial cell line. [21968] The line was produced by long term culture in serum free medium with low Ca++ concentration. [21968] MCF 10A was derived from adherent cells in the population. [21968] Cells derived from a floating population are available (see MCF 10F, ATCC CRL-10318). [21968] The cells are positive for epithelial sialomucins, cytokeratins and milk fat globule antigen. [21968] They exhibit three dimensional growth in collagen, and form domes in confluent cultures. [21968] Thus far, the cells have shown no signs of terminal differentiation or senescence. The line is responsive to insulin, glucocorticoids, cholera endotoxin, and epidermal growth factor (EGF). [21968] By electron microscopy the cells display characteristics of luminal ductal cells but not of myoepithelial cells. [23085] They also express breast specific antigens as detected by positive reaction with MFA-Breast and MC-5 monoclonal antibodies. [23085] The calcium content of the medium exerts a strong effect on the morphology of the cells.
