Cell Line Name

NS0-Turbodoma

Cell Line Description

NS0 cell line (ECACC catalogue no. 85110503) adapted to grow in the chemically defined protein- and peptide-free medium Turbodoma (Cell Culture Technologies). Cholesterol is not required as a supplement for this culture. This cell line is suitable for use as a fusion parent for serum-free generation of hybridomas.The NS0 cell line is the property of MRC. ECACC is unable to supply this cell line or derivatives of this cell line to commercial entities unless a license has been first secured from MRC, negotiated by LifeArc (formerly known as MRC Technology); requests for commercial use of this cell line will be forwarded to LifeArc.

Subculture Routine

Viability may be poor on resuscitation and may initially decrease further. Full recovery may take up to 2 weeks. A centrifugation step to remove the cryoprotectant is essential. Rapidly thaw the frozen ampoule in a water bath at 37°C for 1-2 minutes. Transfer the contents to a centrifuge tube and slowly add 5-10ml of pre-warmed growth media. Remove a sample for counting. Centrifuge at 100g for 2-3 minutes to pellet cells and seed at a relatively high density of 5-7 x 10⁵ cells/ml. Leave culture flask upright and observe regularly until viable proliferating cells are seen. Once established use a split ratio of 1:2 approximately every 4 to 5 days; 5% CO₂; 37°C.

Culture Medium

Turbodoma medium (Cell Culture Technologies http://www.cellculture.com/) + 2mM Glutamine. When freezing cells down use TurboDoma medium (50:50 conditioned medium:fresh medium) + 2mM Glutamine + 10% DMSO.

Growth Mode

Single cell suspension

Unless specified otherwise, at ECACC we routinely handle all of our cell lines at containment level 2 in accordance with the ACDP guidelines (Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens) (UK). All cell cultures have the potential to carry as yet unidentified adventitious agents. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.

The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.

Cultures supplied by Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line.
