Cell Line Description

Skeletal muscle properties. Myotubes formed at confluency respond to acetylcholine. Differentiation improved by reducing serum concentration to 1%.

Application

Differentiation studies

Culture Medium

DMEM + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).

Subculture Routine

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:3 to 1:10 i.e. seeding 1-3x10,000 cells/cm2 using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37°C. Important to passage at sub-confluence, reclone periodically to keep differentiated characteristics. Cells will fuse to form myotubes if allowed to reach confluency.
