Available in the following LABORATORY:
-
Part of the Business Division of the Health Protection Agency (ECACC, Salisbury, Wiltshire)
Swimm's S-77 + 4mM Glutamine + 20% Horse Serum (HS) + 5% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) or EMEM (EBSS) + 2mM Glutamine + 1% Non Essential Amino Acids (NEAA) + 20% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Split semi-confluent cultures 1:2 to 1:6 i.e. seeding at 1-3x10,000 cells/cm2 using 0.25% trypsin; 5% CO2; 37C. NB: Cells are shed from the monolayer before confluence is achieved.
Passages: 74;
Derived from the Morris hepatoma 7777 (obtained from a male Buffalo strain rat). The original tumour was induced with N-2 fluorenylphthalamic acid. Particularly interesting for oncogeny studies since the cells produce alpha-fetoprotein (AFP).
Research council deposit: No;
Price Code: C;
Validated by: isoenzymes (species confirmation)
Availability in cell line catalogues: ATCC: CRL 1601
