General description

Several modifications of Grace′s medium were developed in several laboratories in the late 1960′s and 1970′s. Many of these modifications were developed by Dr. W.F. Hink for the growth of cells derived from the cabbage looper, Tricoplusia ni. This formula represents the modification known as TNM-FH. The medium when properly supplemented has been found to support the growth of cells derived from a variety of lepidopteran species. 

Application

TNM-FH insect medium has been used to culture Sf9 insect cells.

The regulation of the two isoforms of phospholipase C-gamma, PLCgamma(1) and PLCgamma(2), by cell surface receptors involves protein tyrosine phosphorylation as well as interaction with adapter proteins and phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PtdInsP(3)) generated by inositol phospholipid 3-kinases (PI3Ks).
