Isolation:
Isolation date: April, 1952
Virus Susceptibility:
Vesicular stomatitis virus Human poliovirus 1
Antigen Expression:
H-2k
Cytogenetic Analysis:
modal number = 41; range = 38 to 86. Two marker chromosomes present: One metacentric with one pair of arms having achromatic gaps near centromere; and an acrocentric with salites.
Age:
newborn
Gender:
male
Comments:
Tested and found negative for ectromelia virus (mousepox).
Propagation:
ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Catalog No. 30-2002. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: horse serum to a final concentration of 10%. Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5% Temperature: 37.0°C
Subculturing:
Protocol: Subcultures are prepared by scraping. Remove old medium, add fresh medium and dislodge the cells from the floor of the flask. Aspirate cells and dispense the suspension into new flasks. A standard trypsinizaton may be used if desired. The culture medium in heavy cultures may be turbid in appearance and and give the gross impression of bacterial contamination. It is characteristic of this line to shed viable cells into the medium, thus rendering the medium turbid. The shed cells are viable and may be used to initiate new cultures. Subc*tion Ratio: A subc*tion ratio of 1:2 to 1:4 is recommended Medium Renewal: 3 times per week
Preservation:
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
