Part of the Business Division of the Health Protection Agency (ECACC, Salisbury, Wiltshire)
DMEM + 2mM Glutamine + 15% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Split confluent cultures 1:5 to 1:10 i.e. seeding at 1-2x100,000 cells/cm2 using 0.25% trypsin/EDTA; 10-15% CO2; 37C.
Passages: 26;
Produced by passaging the latent period line BE10-Early (93040118) beyond passage 17. The cells possess elevated levels of tissue plasminogen activator activity, are not tumourigenic in BDIX rats and do not form colonies in agar. Do not be use beyond passage 40 as cell properties alter. The BE10 culture was originally derived 2 days after a single dose of ethylnitrosourea to pregnant rats. The control culture BE11 was derived 2 days after exposure to buffer.
Research council deposit: Yes;
Price Code: C;
Validated by: isoenzymes (species confirmation)
