Propagation: The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow V medium available at abm, Cat. No. TM015. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (TM999)* to a final concentration of 10% and Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution (G255) to a final concentration of 1%.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂): 5%, Temperature: +37.0°C.

* abm does not recommend to use heat-inactivated FBS for cell culture unless specified otherwise.

Quality Control: Real Time PCR was used to quantify SV40 gene expression in immortalized cell line.

Shipping Condition: Dry Ice

Storage Condition: liquid nitrogen or -180°C
