Culture Medium: Dulbecco's MEM 90%, fetal bovine serum 10%. Subculture procedure: satandard trypsinization techiniques. A split ratio of 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended.
Consigner: ATCC, through Dr. Wanderley de Souza, Instituto de Biofisica, UFRJ, Rio de Janeiro.
Reference: J. Virol. 4: 549-553, 1969; Cell 16: 63-75, 1979.
Additional Info: The NIH/3T3, acontinous cell line of highly contact-inhibited cells was established from NIH Swiss mouse embryo cultures. This cell line is usefull for DNA transfection and transformation studies. These cells are highly sensitive to sarcoma virus focus formation and leukemia virus propagation. It has a tendency to acquire spontaneously the transformed phenotype along protuded in vitro culture.
