Available in the following LABORATORY:

German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ, Braunschweig)
90% Leibovitz's L-15 medium + 10% FBS cells are difficult to culture! split confluent culture at 1:2 to 1:6 using trypsin/EDTA; seed out at ca. 4 x 106 cells/80 cm 2 at 37C, no exposure to CO2 (keep lid of flask closed) about 25-35 x 106 cells/80 cm 2; doubling time of ca. 51 hours; frozen with 85% medium, 10% FBS, 5% DMSO at about 5 x 106 cells/ampoule; contamination was eliminated with Ciprobay (ciprofloxacin), then negative in DAPI, microbiological culture, RNA hybridization, PCR assays;
Validated by: cytogenetics 1 (hypotetraploid karyotype with 6% polyploidy and near diploid sideline (2%); 89(85-91)<4n>XXX, -X; highly rearranged leading to extensive marker formation, including der(5)t(5;?14)(p11;q11)x2; dm present in 12% cells) * DNA fingerprinting (unique Hinf I-(gtg)5 DNA profile) * immunological analysis (cytokeratin+ desmin- endothel- GFAP- neurofilament-vimentin-) * isoenzymes (confirmed as human with IEF of MDH, NP)
