Disease: Cancer
Format: Frozen
Shipping conditions: Dry ice
Growth medium: DMEM + 2mM Glutamine + 2% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) + 0.4 µg/ml Hydrocortisone.
Subculture routine: Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:10 – 1:50 using 0.05% trypsin/EDTA; 8% CO₂; 37°C. Suggested seeding density 2 x 10,000 cells/cm². Culture cells on a feeder layer of lethally-irradiated or mitomycin C-treated 3T3 Swiss Albino cells (ECACC Catalogue number: 85022108). Feeder layers are prepared in the flasks at least 24 hours in advance of being required. Where frozen stocks of treated 3T3 Swiss Albino cells have been prepared, an ampoule is thawed in 37°C water bath and the contents quickly transferred to a 15ml centrifuge tube. DMEM medium is added drop wise to 5ml. Cells are centrifuged at 150 x g for 5 minutes at Room Temperature. Cells are resuspended in 5ml of medium. Cells are counted and added to flasks containing the correct BICR growth medium at 1-3 x 10^4 cells/cm².
