Propagation:

The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow III medium available at abm . To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%, 1% L-glutamine , and Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution to a final concentration of 1%
Carbon dioxide (CO₂): 5%, Temperature: 33.5°C.

Quality Control:

1.) Telomerase-detection assay was used to detect telomerase activity. 2.) Flow cytometry confirmed expression of T antigen.
