EMEM(EBSS) + 2mM Glutamine + 1% Non Essential Amino Acids (NEAA) + 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Split confluent cultures 1:4 to 1:10 i.e. seeding at 1-2x10,000 cells/cm2 using 0.25% trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37C.
Passages: 370;
Karyotype: 2n = 46
Derived from an epidermoid carcinoma of the mouth of an adult male Caucasian. It was one of the early attempts to isolate and serially propagate a human cell line directly on glass as a monolayer. NB: This cell line contains HeLa marker chromosomes and expresses type A G6PD. For further information see Nature 1976;259:211; In Vitro 1978;14:469. This cell line was found to have a HeLa profile by DNA fingerprinting.
