This is the complete description of the cell line that you selected. By clicking on a generic term (e.g., SPECIES) you will go to the corresponding index (e.g., index of species), while by clicking on a specific term (e.g., retinoblastoma) you will go to the list of corresponding cell lines (e.g., retionoblastoma cell lines).

XTH-2 (toad, South African, heart, embryonic)

SPECIES: toad, South African
TISSUE/ORGAN: heart, embryonic

DSMZ catalog code: ACC 190
Morphology: large epitheloid (low density monolayer), cobblestone with occasional piling-up (high density monolayer)
Description: toad - South African clawed toad (Xenopus laevis) established from the embryonal (stage 52/53) normal heart endothelium (tadpole heart) of a South African clawed toad (Xenopus laevis Daudin) in 1979; cells were described to synthesize factor-VIII-related antigen (AHG-a.p.), fibronectin and laminin and to be tetraploid (72 +/-5, 2N = 36)
Depositor: Dr. W. K. Schlage, Institute for Biological Research, Koeln, Germany
General Restrictions

Available in the following LABORATORY:

German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ, Braunschweig)
90% Dulbecco's MEM (diluted with 20% distilled water) + 10% FBS + 20-30 mM HEPES split confluent culture 1:2 every 10-12 days using trypsin/EDTA; avoid centrifugation, just dilute the harvested cells with medium and seed into a new flask; cells grow extremely slowly with a doubling time of about 10-12 days; thaw in cold water (10C), dilute with 10-fold volume of fresh culture medium, centrifuge gently (about 80 x g for 5 min) keep at room temperature in closed flasks (without exposure to CO2 ) cell harvest of about 2.5 x 106 cells/80 cm 2; doubling time of ca. 10-12 days; frozen with 90% complete medium + 10% glycerol (not DMSO) at about 0.5 x 106 cells/ampoule; negative in DAPI, microbiological culture, RNA hybridization assays;
