Cell Line Name

BCL1 Clone CW13.20-3B3

Cell Line Description

Derived from BCL1 by limiting dilution and does not spontaneously secrete IgM when cultured in pre-tested batches of FBS. The line is useful for studying soluble factors involved in B-cell differentiation.

Culture Conditions

Cell Type

Lymphoblastoid

Subculture Routine

Maintain cultures between 3-9x100,000 cells/ml; 5% CO₂; 37°C. Cells attach lightly to surface which should be tapped sharply to dislodge the cells. Do not allow cells to become confluent, subculture at 75% to 90% confluency; free-floating aggregates accumulate with time. Cells grow slowly after resuscitation and subculture and may take 48-72 hours until exponential growth is established.

Culture Medium

RPMI 1640 + 2mM Glutamine + 1% Sodium Pyruvate (NaP) + 1% Non Essential Amino Acids (NEAA) + 0.05mM 2-Mercaptoethanol (2ME) + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).

Growth Mode

Suspension

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.
