General description

L-15 Medium (Leibovitz) was initially prepared to be used in carbon dioxide (CO2) free systems, which involves sodium bicarbonate. The complement of free base amino acids, salts, and galactose buffers it. This aids the maintenance of physiological pH control.

Application

L-15 Medium (Leibovitz) has been used:  
  • in protein incorporation for incubation of high blastula embryos and to avoid the abnormal development of embryos
  • as a supplement in sterile cell media for the dissection and isolation of kidney cells
  • as a component of culture buffer for the tissue culture of Newt lung cells

Reconstitution

Supplement with 0.3 g/L L-glutamine.

Storage Class Code

The structure of mitotic chromosomes in cultured newt lung cells was investigated by a quantitative study of their deformability, using micropipettes. Metaphase chromosomes are highly extensible objects that return to their native shape after being stretched up to 10 times

Fish embryo cryopreservation, which is useful in aquaculture or biodiversity conservation, is still far from being achieved. Structural barriers reduce the entrance of cryoprotectants into embryo compartments. Previous studies demonstrated a better ability for freezing in Arctic species which naturally

Recent studies have shown that the targeting of substrate adhesions by microtubules promotes adhesion site disassembly (Kaverina, I., O. Krylyshkina, and J.V. Small. 1999. J. Cell Biol. 146:1033-1043). It was accordingly suggested that microtubules serve to convey a signal to

In vertebrates, sex steroids play crucial roles in multiple systems related to reproduction. In females, estrogens and their receptor estrogen receptor (ER or Esr) play indispensable roles in the negative sex steroid feedback regulation of pituitary gonadotropin secretion, which prevents
