Cell Line Origin

Rat skeletal muscle myoblast

Cell Line Description

A subclone of L6, a rat thigh muscle cell line. On reaching confluence the cells will fuse to form myotubes and twitching movement will be seen. Once cultures have fused they cannot be recloned.

Culture Medium

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

Subculture Routine

Split semi-confluent cultures to a seeding density of 1.5-2x1,000 cells/cm2 using 0.25% trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37°C. Cells fuse on reaching confluence, producing myotubes. To prevent fusion maintain the cultures sub-confluent and reclone every 6-8 weeks.
