Applications: | transfection host (Roche FuGENE® Transfection Reagents) |
Gender: | male |
Comments: | Cell growth is inhibited by cortisol. The cells express antigens characteristic of intestinal epithelia. [22491] The depositor notes that the cells maintain a constant growth rate and cell morphology until approximay the 20th passage, thereafter, either cell growth rapidly declines or morphological changes are observed. |
Propagation: | ATCC complete growth medium: Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with 4 mM L-glutamine adjusted to contain 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate and 4.5 g/L glucose and supplemented with 0.1 Unit/ml bovine insulin, 90%; fetal bovine serum, 10% |
