| Complete Growth Medium |
The base medium for this cell line is a 1:1 mixture of ATCC-formulated Eagle''''''''s Minimum Essential Medium, Catalog No. 30-2003, and F12 Medium. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%. |
|---|---|
| Subculturing |
These cells grow as a mixture of floating and adherent cells. The cells grow as clusters of neuroblastic cells with multiple, short, fine cell processes (neurites). Cells will aggregate, form clumps and float. Medium Renewal: Every 4 to 7 days |
| Cryopreservation |
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
|
| Culture Conditions |
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
Temperature: 37¡ãC
