Available in the following LABORATORY:

Part of the Business Division of the Health Protection Agency (ECACC, Salisbury, Wiltshire)
McCoy's 5a + 2mM Glutamine + 5% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Renew medium daily where possible. Subculture by placing culture in cold room (4C) for 60 minutes, shake flask to suspend cells, centrifuge, resuspend in fresh medium and into fresh flasks. Split confluent cultures 1:2 to 1:10; 5% CO2; 37C.
Passages: 90; Karyotype: 2n = 42, hyperdiploid
Used in studies relating to amino acid requirements and L-asparagine metabolism. Cloning studies show that variants not requiring L-asp are present in 100 per 1,000,000 cells Cloned populations which do not produce variants immediately do so after 6-8 further passages.
Research council deposit: No; Price Code: C;
Validated by: isoenzymes (species confirmation)

Availability in cell line catalogues: ATCC: CCL 45, IZSBS: BS TCL 31
