| Receptor Expression |
atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), expressed

| HeLa Markers | N |
| Comments |
While NCI-H660 has the appearance and many of the properties of small cell carcinoma, there are also differences. NCI-H660 expresses elevated levels of L-dopa carboxylase and bombesin-like immunoreactivity. The cells express functional atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) receptors, but ANP addition produces no detectable change in the cells'' growth pattern.

Background
| Complete Growth Medium |
HITES medium supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum
|
|---|---|
| Subculturing |
Add medium as the cell density increases. Shake flask to dislodge attached cells. Single cells are often dead and clusters are viable. Subculture when there are numerous, healthy-appearing clusters present in suspension.
Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
|
| Cryopreservation |
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium, 40%; fetal bovine serum, 50%; DMSO, 10%.
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
|
| Culture Conditions |
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
Temperature: 37¡ãC
