DMEM:Ham's F12 (1:1) + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Split confluent cultures 1:8 to 1:12 i.e. seeding at 1-5x10,000 cells/cm2 using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37C.
Passages: 10; Karyotype: Complex chromosomal changes
FTC-133 was obtained from a lymph node metastasis of a follicular thyroid carcinoma from a 42-year-old male. The morphology differs from flat polygonal to spindle formed cells. They retained differentiated thyrocyte function and thyrocyte responsiveness to thyrotropin and local active growth factors. Thyroglobulin immunoreactivity could be shown in the cytoplasm and EGF receptor immunoreactivity could be visualised on the cell membranes. Complex chromosomal changes were detected as well as a p53 mutation.
Research council deposit: No; Price Code: C;
Validated by: isoenzymes (species confirmation)
