Cell Line Origin

Human Caucasian neuroblastoma

Cell Line Description

Established from a bone marrow biopsy of a 22-month-old male with disseminated neuroblastoma in 1972. The morphology varies with sub-population from cells with long processes through small, flattened, epithelioid cells. Dense cultures tend to form loosely adherent aggregates. They are multipotential with regard to neuronal enzyme expression and display a high capacity to convert tyrosine to dopamine.

Application

Chemotherapy development, chromosome studies, drug resistance, differentiation studies.

Culture Medium

EMEM (EBSS) + 1% Non Essential Amino Acids (NEAA) : Ham′s F12 (1:1) + 2mM Glutamine + 15% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).

Subculture Routine

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:10 to 1:25 i.e. seeding at 2-4x10,000 cells/cm2 using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37°C.
