General description

McCoy′s 5A Medium is suitable for the primary culture of cells from a wide range of tissue. It is recommended for the production of viruses in primary cell cultures.

Application

McCoy′s 5A Medium has been used to maintain:

  • G-361 melanoma cells;
  • 87-MG cells
  • human colon carcinoma cell line HCT116

Biochem/physiol Actions

McCoy′s 5A Medium has been originally developed to support liver tumor cells by modification of the amino acids found in BME. This formulation has also been used to support the growth of primary cultures of bone marrow, skin, gingiva, kidney, omentum, adrenals, lung, spleen, rat embryos, and other cell types.

Assessing dose in nanoparticle-cell interactions is inherently difficult due to a complex multiplicity of possible mechanisms and metrics controlling particle uptake. The fundamental unit of nanoparticle dose is the number of particles internalized per cell; we show that this can
