Cell Line Origin

Mouse Fibroblast (L cells)

Cell Line Description

A 6-thioguanine resistant mutant of mouse L cell fibroblasts (Mouse strain C3H/An). A9 lacks guanylic acid-inosinic acid pyrophosphorylase and was isolated by virtue of resistance to 6-thioguanine (3 μg/ml). ECACC has two catalogue entries for the A9 cell line which differ in that they were deposited by different groups: A9 (Sigma Catalogue number 85011426) and A9(Hamprecht) (Sigma Catalogue number 08062526). Several other cell lines in the ECACC catalogue have been derived from A9(Hamprecht).

Application

Used in the generation of cell hybrids.

Culture Medium

DMEM + 2 mM glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) + 0.1 mM 6-thioguanine

Subculture Routine

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:3 to 1:6 i.e. seeding at 2-4x10,000 cells/cm2 using 0.05% trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37°C.
