Available in the following LABORATORY:
-
Part of the Business Division of the Health Protection Agency (ECACC, Salisbury, Wiltshire)
Click:RPMI (1:1) + 10µg/ml Insulin + 10mM Hydrocortisone + 5µg/ml Transferrin + 10ng/ml glycyl-L-histydyl-L-lysine acetate + 10ng/ml somatostatin + 2mM Glutamine + 0.1% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Split confluent cultures 1:2 i.e. seeding at 5x100,000 cells/cm2 using 0.05% trypsin/0.025% EDTA in Puck F saline; 2.5% CO2; 37C.
The cell line was spontaneously derived from the porcine thyroid cell line PORTHOS (ECACC No. 93122323) after withdrawal of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). The cells form follicle-like structures, have a high growth rate, a high glucose consumption and are TSH independent for growth. The expression of plasminogen activators has been reported and found to be higher in ATHOS cells compared to PORTHOS cells.
