Report from working group on in vitro tests for chromosomal aberrations. Stationary suspension cultures which are grown without agitation in untreated dishes and flasks. When the temperature of the water bath reaches 56C again, continue to heat for an additional 30 minutes. Finite cell culture. Table 3: Supplements and antibiotics product list, Table 4: Buffers, stains and dissociation reagents product list, Table 5: Cryopreservation reagents product list, Table 6: Supplements and antibiotics product list, Table 7: Cell proliferation assays and mycoplasma detection. If there is a significant amount of cells attached to the walls of the culture vessel, particularly at the surface of the medium, remove them with trypsin-EDTA and discard them. You are now leaving atcc.org to securely complete your transaction on lgcstandards.com. ATCC30-2300Penicillin-Streptomycin Solution. (See: Figure 3). Maintain one with the original medium and continue to subculture these cells for the entire adaptation process. Remove a small amount of the cell suspension to. Remove the cryoprotectant agent by gentle centrifugation (10 minutes at 125 g). When a cell population does not adhere to this assumption, use of the exponential growth equation leads to errors in the determination of both population doubling time and cell generation time. Horse serum is less likely to carry the contaminants found in bovine sera such as viruses and less likely to metabolize polyamines which may be mitogenic for some cells. DMEM/F12 Medium is a 1:1 mixture of Dulbeccos modified EMEM and Hams F-12. . In animals, a cell which produces hormones, growth factors, or other signaling substances for which it also expresses the corresponding receptors. 2007 Mar 1;616(1-2):103-18. doi: 10.1016/j.mrfmmm.2006.11.013. Cells in suspension culture grow either as single cells or as clusters of cells. It may be necessary to examine the cured culture to determine if it is sufficiently similar to the original line. Mix gently every 5 minutes to insure uniform heating. The state of the cell in which all chromosomes, except sex chromosomes, are two in number and are structurally identical with those of the species from which the culture was derived. Phenol red is used to monitor the pH of media. Fetal Bovine Serum (also known as fetal calf) , Fetal Bovine Serum qualified for embryonic stem cells . Some cell lines, such as hybridomas, take several days before fully recovering from cryopreservation. The term implies that cultures from it consist of lineages of cells originally present in the primary culture. Place the flask back into the incubator. A high-quality serum tested and confirmed to support the culture and cryopreservation of many different cell lines. This is not a problem in most culture applications, but may interfere with anoxia experiments or long-term storage of media.19 Caps that allow gas exchange when the cap is fully tightened are available to reduce opportunities for flask spills and contamination in open systems. Thus, donor age and health are additional important variables to consider. Be particularly cautious when working with a new cell line as media formulations vary among suppliers, even for media with similar or identical names. This is a term used only to describe a culture and is not used to describe individual cells. When combined with the total number of cells, the number of viable cells provides an accurate indication of the health of the cell culture. All ATCC cell lines come with information on their growth medium. Marek K, Armando F, Nippold VM, Rohn K, Plattet P, Brogden G, Gerold G, Baumgrtner W, Puff C. Int J Mol Sci. These systems are the most economical in terms of space, labor and media; as a result, stirred suspension cultures are usually the method of choice for producing large volumes of cells both in the lab and in industry. In contrast, dead cells often round up and detach from the monolayer and appear smaller and darker (not refractile) than healthy cells. Antibiotics and/or antimycotic agents are added to cell culture media as a prophylactic to prevent contamination, as a cure once contamination is found, to induce the expression of recombinant proteins, or to maintain selective pressure on transfected cells. With time, a population of cells can be selected that does not self-aggregate or adhere to a growth surface as readily as the parental line. Discarding the culture and starting over is preferred. The doubling time can be estimated from the population size at two points [ 8 ]. If personal items are needed, sanitize them before and after lab use. Roller bottles employ simple technology but require an investment in the appropriate equipment. After a period of time, primary cultures will reach confluency, the state when all available space of the culture vessel is covered due to cellular expansion. Erythrosin B stain generates more accurate results with fewer false negatives and false positives. For example, antibiotic use is recommended when developing and working with primary culture and when using flow cytometry to isolate subpopulations. As with EMEM, there have been numerous modifications to the original formulation including Hams F-12 medium, a more complex formulation than the original F-10 suitable for serum-free propagation. The situation in which the nucleus of a cell contains exact multiples of the haploid number of chromosomes. The total number of population doublings of a cell line or strain since its initiation in vitro. Most adherent cells should be attached firmly to the surface. The information below focuses on standard culture vessels used by many researchers. In vitro senescence. Store the remainder of this medium at 4C for later use. McCoys 5A and RPMI-1640 were developed at Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) in Buffalo, New York. Keep in mind that most anchorage-dependent cells will grow in suspension only with the use of microcarrier beads. Population doubling time, mean cell volume, and percent unbudded cells for different batch culture media. This interval can best be determined, at present, with the aid of cinephotomicrography. With increasing population doubling, its observed that hMSCs lose adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation capacity [3, 4], decrease their proliferation rate [4], and immunomodulatory activity vs. GvHD [5], and exhibit a transcriptome drift on a population level [6]. Most continuous cell lines replicate at higher rates and are subcultured at a much higher split ratio. The plastic walls of culture vessels are slightly permeable to carbon dioxide and oxygen, permitting a very small amount of gas exchange. For studies with estrogen-sensitive cells, such as mammary tissue, use media without phenol red. Remove the vial from the liquid nitrogen freezer and thaw by gentle agitation in a 37C water bath (or a bath set at the normal growth temperature for that cell line). The same approach can be used to adapt cells to serum-free medium; simply decrease the serum level in the medium by half with each passage until a 0.06% (or lower) serum level is reached. Preheat a water bath to 56C. We have derived a more general growth equation that defines cell growth in terms of the dividing fraction of daughter cells. The cells are cultured for 1 to 2 weeks in the presence of the antibiotic, and then cultured without antibiotic for 1 to 2 months. ATCC provides information on cryopreservation for all cell lines on the Product Sheet. = 7 days/2 = 3.5 days. An immortalized cell is not necessarily one which is neoplastically or malignantly transformed. Yeast Candida albicans ID: 106311 Colony numbers and population doubling time in mesenchymal stem cells derived from different sources. Allow the cell suspension to be drawn into the counting chamber by capillary action. A type of culture which will grow and can be maintained without attaching to a surface, such as glass or plastic. A hemocytometer is a fairly thick glass slide with two counting chambers, one on each side. ATCC cell lines and hybridomas are shipped frozen on dry ice in cryopreservation vials or as growing cultures in flasks at ambient temperature. If cell densities are allowed to become too high, the cells may exhaust the nutrients in the medium and die abruptly. After 40 minutes, cell viability may decline due to the DMSO. ATCC cell line Product Sheets that contains detailed information for handling the cells may be found at the ATCC website or contact ATCC Technical Supportto request a copy. Alexis Carrel developed the first glass flasks in the 1920s. All dishes and multiwell plates are open systems. ATCC DMEM (ATCC 30-2002) has 4,500 mg/L of glucose and a reduced sodium bicarbonate concentration (1,500 mg/L) for use with 5% CO2. Although these procedures are used to prevent microbial contamination of cultures, they also prevent cross-contamination of cell cultures as well. L-Glutamine degradation results in the build-up of ammonia which can have a deleterious effect on some cell lines. As the cells metabolize and produce more CO2, the pH of the medium decreases as the chemical reaction below is driven to the right: H2O + CO2H2CO3H++ HCO3-. (See: NOTE 4). The most common and rapid methods rely upon the integrity of the cell membrane as an indicator of cell viability. Store sera at 20C or colder for storage over 30 days. Additionally, serum buffers the culture medium, inactivates proteolytic enzymes, increases medium viscosity (which reduces shear stress during pipetting or stirring), and conditions the growth surface of the culture vessel. If such has already been published, a reference to the original publication must be made. Several of them possess unique properties. A clone is not necessarily homogeneous and therefore the terms clone and cloned do not indicate homogeneity in a cell population, genetic or otherwise. ATCC offers DMSO (ATCC 4-X) that has been thoroughly tested for cell culture use. Open-system plastic dishes are less expensive than closed-system flasks, but require more expensive incubators that can regulate the CO2 and humidity in the atmosphere. It also contains a reduced concentration of sodium bicarbonate (1,500 mg/L) for use with 5% CO2. Count the cell suspension, and then seed two or more spinner flasks with 5 10. NOTE 3 CO2 dissolves freely into the medium and reacts with water to form carbonic acid. If they are identical, subculture the adapting cells at the next passage with a 1:2 split ratio in a 1:3 medium mix (25% original, 75% new). Comparison of cell growth, population doubling time (PDT), and viability of ASCs cultured in DMEM/FBS and STK2. This proprietary formulation contains 10% DMSO and methylcellulose is suitable for the cryopreservation of adherent and suspension cell cultures. If at any point in the process the adapting culture fails to perform as well as the reference culture, then allow the adapting culture more time and a few more passages in their current medium mix (eg, 1:3, 1:7, etc.) Information on agent risk assessment and a description of the four biosafety levels can be found in this publication. Bethesda, MD 20894, Web Policies The vessel surface is treated to render it hydrophilic (wettable). In this procedure, start with the serum-free medium supplemented with serum so that only the level of serum changes with each passage. NOTE 5 ATCC uses glass vials for the storage of seed stocks which are placed in the lower level of the liquid nitrogen tank. If this is not possible, store the cells in liquid nitrogen vapor (below 130C). [2]. Clean the insides and exteriors of pipettes and tools that must be shared. Culture Vessels and Surfaces Serum-free freezing media have also been developed. Chemically defined medium. If an antibiotic is used in medium, penicillin-streptomycin solution (ATCC 30-2300) can be added at 0.5 to 1 mL of solution per 100 mL of cell culture medium for a final concentration of 50 to 100 IU/mL penicillin and 50 to 100 g/mL streptomycin. There are numerous factors which affect the viability of recovered cells. Figure 3: Cells cryopreserved using ATCC Serum-Free Cell Freezing Medium show levels of viability and percent attachment that are comparable to cells preserved in DMSO and FBS. ATCC IMDM (ATCC 30-2005) has a reduced sodium bicarbonate concentration (1,500 mg/L) for use with 5% CO2. There are several commercially available freezing chambers which achieve a cooling rate very close to the ideal 1C per minute (Mr. Frosty, Nalgene 5100-0001; or StrataCooler, Agilent Technologies 401349). A less costly approach is to place the cryopreservation vials into an insulated chamber and cool for 24 hours in a mechanical freezer at 70C or lower. HeLa cells are perhaps the most famous example of a cross-contaminating cell line overtaking and then masquerading as the original. It is characterized by reduced proliferation of the culture, abnormal mitotic figures, detachment of cells from the culture substrate, and the formation of multinucleated or giant cells. Recommended seeding and subculturing densities, media replenishment (feeding) schedules, and medium formulations for each ATCC cell line are provided on the Product Sheet as well as in the catalog description on the website. Inhibitors in the medium (such as serum) have inactivated the dissociating agents. Finally, trypan blue is toxic and a potential carcinogen. At this point, the line should be retested with a very sensitive test method to make sure that the culture is clean. Unfortunately, phenol red can mimic the action of some steroid hormones, particularly estrogen. Anchorage dependent, which must become attached to a surface to grow (for example, human diploid fibroblasts). The addition of cryoprotectant agents such as glycerol or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) will mitigate these effects. Heres how. Cells in culture that maintain all or much of the specialized structure and function typical of the cell type in vivo. It is best to test the contaminating microbe for its antibiotic sensitivity prior to treatment; this allows for a shorter treatment time and limits exposure of the cell line to potentially damaging reagents. Also, look for small fungal colonies that float at the medium-air interface. The amounts used in this procedure are for a 75-cm2 flask. The standard sodium bicarbonate/CO2 buffering system is replaced by a combination of phosphate buffers, free-base amino acids, higher levels of sodium pyruvate, and galactose. Cell growth measured by cell counts as a percentage of controls can underestimate toxicity. Galloway SM, Aardema MJ, Ishidate M Jr, Ivett JL, Kirkland DJ, Morita T, Mosesso P, Sofuni T. Mutat Res. You can also start a new application by selecting the "Start a new account application" below to establish another account with ATCC. For this type of exponential growth, plotting the natural logarithm of cell number against time. Cytotoxicity and chromosome aberrations in vitro: experience in industry and the case for an upper limit on toxicity in the aberration assay. Chromosome aberrations in vitro related to cytotoxicity of nonmutagenic chemicals and metabolic poisons. Rinse the cell monolayer with Dulbeccos PBS without calcium or magnesium and remove. In some cases, the addition of L-glutamine to complete cell culture medium can extend the usable life of the medium. Be sure to read catalog descriptions, formulations, and medium labels carefully to ensure that the appropriate medium is used. ATCC does not routinely use heat-inactivated serum unless specifically required for a particular cell line. The interval, calculated during the logarithmic phase of growth in which cells double in number; for example, 1.0 x 106 cells increase to 2.0 x 106 cells. Spheroid formation assay Cells that can grow either attached or in suspension (many transformed cell lines such as HeLa and BHK-21). An automated counter will generate the most reliable data, particularly when used in combination with the viability data from a hemocytometer. Keywords: cell culture, cell doubling-time, time laps microscopy 1. During this massive cultural degeneration, a small number of colonies usually, but not always, survives and gives rise to a culture with an apparent unlimited in vitro lifespan. Start new projects with trustworthy materials. The plate washers, stem cell lines can initiate cellular population doubling time outside a quick break up at the elapsed population doubling number of new orleans . Bovine-derived products also may contain the agent responsible for bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). produces a straight line. For nonadherent cells grown in flasks, such as hybridomas, this is a simple matter of viewing the flask directly on the microscope. This guide contains general technical information for working with animal cells in culture, including media, subculturing, cryopreservation, and contamination. See the ATCC Servicessection of the website for details. Formulations can vary widely among suppliers, even for media with similar or identical names. Keep 6 feet of space between individuals. The internal-thread version was the first commercially available, but has some disadvantages over the external-thread version. It also contains HEPES and selenium. We compared aberration results where the highest doses scored were based on 50% reductions in final cell counts with results obtained when the highest doses were based on PD. For some cell lines mechanical forces such as scraping to dislodge the cells is preferred. Complete Growth Media For some cells that are loosely attached, a sharp blow with the palm of your hand against the side of the flask can dislodge them. Then add 1 to 1.8 mL of the cell suspension to each of the vials (depending upon the volume of the vial) and seal. However, they are preferred for long-term storage (many years) of valuable cultures and are considered fail-safe once properly sealed. Cells should be subcultured while still in the exponential phase. Primary culture. In obtaining a culture from another laboratory, the proper designation of the culture, as originally named and described, must be maintained and any deviations in cultivation from the original must be reported in any publication. Trypsin-EDTA solution is suitable for most adherent cell lines. Suspension cultures require less lab space per cell yield, and scale-up is straightforward. Bring the complete growth medium to the appropriate temperature (usually 37C) in a water bath. In closed systems the level of CO2 is regulated by the metabolism of the cells. The dissociating solution was not inactivated or removed by centrifugation. Alternately, the vials can be placed into a polystyrene box with 15-mm (3/4 inch) thick walls and 1L capacity packed with paper, cotton wool, or foam peanuts for insulation. A culture which is capable of only a limited number of population doublings after which the culture ceases proliferation. The harvesting procedure was too harsh (pipetting too vigorous, cells were centrifuged too hard or too long, cells damaged during scraping or banging). The optimal pH range of 7.2 to 7.4 can be maintained by supplementing the medium with sodium bicarbonate and regulating the level of CO2 in the atmosphere above the medium as shown by the reaction below: H2O + CO2 + NaHCO3 H+ + Na+ + 2HCO3-. Thawing serum in a bath above 40C without mixing may lead to the formation of a precipitate inside the bottle. There are two materials to choose from for cryopreservation vials: glass or plastic. Cryopreservation In most cases it will be necessary to maintain the culture in suspension with mechanical stirring. Most cell lines in the ATCC collection are cultivated on treated plastic surfaces in dishes, flasks, or roller bottles. Other cells, particularly those derived from hematopoietic or certain tumor tissues, are anchorage independent and grow in suspension. An official website of the United States government. In any published description of a cell strain, one must make every attempt to publish the characterization or history of the strain. ATCC Hams F-12K (ATCC 30-2004) has a reduced sodium bicarbonate concentration (1,500 mg/L) for use with 5% CO2. To ensure that the characteristics of your cell line remain constant, maintain your cells in the same medium, serum, and supplements with the same subculturing regimen used to establish the culture. The use of this term does not imply that the cells are normal or that they are not neoplastically transformed. Would you like email updates of new search results? Colony forming efficiency. Epithelial-like. Hold the cell suspension on ice if there will be a delay between removing the cells from the flask growth surface and seeding a new flask. this was associated with a reduced doubling time for the cancer cells . ATCC modification of McCoys 5A (ATCC 30-2007) has a slightly higher levels of sodium bicarbonate (2.2 g/L) and does not contain sodium pyruvate. We have previously proposed that no truly genotoxic compound would be missed if the toxicity of the highest dose did not exceed 50%. For your convenience, here again, is the calculator: We're fueling the rapid commercialization of scalable regenerative cures. While cultured cells can withstand considerable drops in temperature and most can survive for several days at 4C, few can tolerate even a few hours at more than 2C above their optimal temperature. ATCC follows federal biosafety guidelines and takes several factors into consideration when assessing potential hazard. For example, endothelial cells will form tubules and neuronal cells will extend neurite processes when cultured on a surface of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. As the recipient of a cell line, take into account not only the nature of the material but also the manipulations employed during its handling when assessing the potential laboratory risk. Calf serum, because of its lower growth-promoting properties, is used in contact-inhibition studies with NIH/3T3 cells (ATCC CRL-1658). With animal cells, this is the state wherein the cell in culture lacks the specialized structure and/or function of the cell type in vivo. Some cell lines grow as mixed adherent and suspension cultures. Copyright 2021 AAT Bioquest, Inc. All Rights Reserved. The choice of a medium for a particular cell line is somewhat empirical. Ci= initial cell number seeded into vessel, Cf= final cell yield, or the number of cells at the end of the growth period. Additionally, ATCC offers a full line of media, sera, and reagents for culturing cells. While the potential for contamination is constant, the risk can be reduced or eliminated by proper precautions: using only reagents of known quality and sterility, quarantining new cell lines until they are tested to be free from contamination, performing routine maintenance and cleaning of all equipment, and properly training cell culture personnel. For cells growing exponentially this value is well-defined. This senescence is mediated by the shortening of the ends of the chromosomes (telomeres) with each cell division.3. When a cell line is known to contain an etiologic agent, ATCC classification is at least comparable to the BSL assigned to the agent by the CDC and in some cases the ATCC designation is more restrictive. Density-dependent inhibition of growth. One of the most reliable methods to study DNA polymorphisms is the profiling of short tandem repeats (STR) by PCR amplification followed by capillary electrophoresis.28 STR profiles for all ATCC human cell lines are available on the website in the catalog descriptions. (See also cell line, in vitro transformation, and in vitro senescence.). At one time animal serum was a major source of mycoplasma contamination of tissue culture cells. (or if .
