Catalogue No.

96020744

Cell Line Name

COR-L32

Cell Line Description

The cell line COR-L32 has been estalished from a marrow trephine from a poorly-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The patient has been confirmed to have primary lung cancer. Electron micrographs showed dense core granules and other features of neuroendocrine differentiation. In culture, COR-L32 grow as floating aggregates of packed cells.

Applications

Lung cancer study

Disease

Small Cell Carcinoma

Culture Conditions

Subculture Routine

Maintain cultures between 3-9 x 100,000 cells / ml; 5% CO₂; 37°C. This is a human small cell carcinoma which grows in large clumps. Cell banks should be frozen at high cell densities e.g. 6-9 x 1000,000 cells/ml to allow for clumping.

Culture Medium

RPMI 1640 + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).

Growth Mode

Aggregates in 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.
