Description

Cell Line Origin

Human follicular thryoid carcinoma

Cell Line Description

Established from the metastases of a follicular carcinoma in a female patient. Tumorigenic in nude mice. The basal release of immuno-detectable thyroglobulin increased in response to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The cell line grows as a monolayer without the formation of follicles. Electronmicroscopy studies showed the presence of microvilli with interdigitations between neighbouring cells.

Application

A valuable model for the study of human follicular carcinoma.

Culture Medium

DMEM:Ham′s F12:MCDB 105 (2:1:1) + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).

Subculture Routine

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