- Description: K-MEL-24 is one of a series of melanoma cell lines established from patient-derived tumour samples. This cell line expresses wildtype B-Raf and wildtype N-Ras.
- Application: 3D cell culture
- Biosafety level: 1
Target Details
- Target: Antigen expression: Blood Type O; Rh+; HLA A1, A2, B12, B14, Cw5
Applications
- Application: 3D cell culture
Handling
- Growth medium: EMEM supplemented with FBS to a final concentration of 15%
- Temperature: 37° C
- Atmosphere: 5% CO2 in air
- Shipping conditions: Dry Ice
- Storage medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
- Storage conditions: Vapor phase of liquid nitrogen
- Subculture routine: Remove and discard culture medium. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin- 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes). Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking
