| Comments |
The established cell line reportedly has a doubling time of about 40 hours and a colony-forming efficiency in soft agar of approximately 19%.
Hybridomas have been made against the CSF-I produced by this line ATCC HB-8207 (F1A3-23) and ATCC HB-8208 (F18 AF1).
The line is sensitive to asparaginase.

Background
| 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: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%; horse serum to a final concentration of 2.5%. |
|---|---|
| Subculturing |
Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.53 mM EDTA solution. Remove the solution and add an additional 1 to 2 mL of trypsin-EDTA solution. Allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or at 37¡ãC) until the cells detach. Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks. Corning® T-75 flasks (catalog #430641) are recommended for subculturing this product.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:8 is recommended
Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
