Subculture Routine

Seed cultures between 1-3 x 10⁵ cells/ml; Saturation density 8-10 x 10⁵ 5% CO₂; 37°C. When recovering hybridoma cultures from frozen it is not unusual for growth to be slower than expected initially and there may be an observed decrease in viability. Establishment of an actively proliferating culture may take up to 2 weeks. On resuscitation 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 prewarmed growth media+. Remove a sample for counting. Centrifuge at 100 x g for 2-3 minutes to pellet cells and seed at a relatively high density of 5-7 x 10µ cells/ml. Place culture flask flat and observe regularly until viable proliferating cells are seen. Often hybridoma cultures may benefit from being resuspended with media supplemented with 20% FBS in the early critical stage of culture establishment immediately post resuscitation. Once the culture is established in culture the FBS can be reduced to 10%.

Culture Medium

Iscoves Modified Dulbeccos Medium (IMDM) + 2mM glutamine + 25 U/ml Interleukin-6 (IL-6) + 5-10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Where the cells are grown under static conditions, 0.02% EDTA maybe required to dislodge them from the plastic.

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.
