Cell Line Name

328/10

Cell Line Description

Hybrid generated by fusion of 6-thioguanine-resistant mutant of mouse neuroblastoma N4TG3 (ECACC catalogue number 08062515) and 8-bromodeoxyuridine-resistant mutant of mouse L cell fibroblast line B82 (ECACC catalogue number 08062522) using inactivated Sendai virus. The fusion of N4TG3 x B82 generated two types of hybrid cells: neuronal resembling the neuroblastoma and epithelioid with clearly visible nucleus. 328/10 is of the neuronal type.

Subculture Routine

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:4 to 1:8 i.e. seeding at 2-4x10,000 cells/cm² using 0.05% trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO₂; 37°C.

Culture Medium

DMEM + 2 mM glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) + HAT (0.1 mM hypoxanthine, 10 µM aminopterin and 16 µM thymidine) Cells can be cultured without HAT provided they were cultured in between in HT medium for 3-4 days

Growth Mode

Adherent

If use of this culture results in a scientific publication, it should be cited in the publication as: 328/10 (ECACC 08062536).

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.
