The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow IV medium available at abm . To make the completed growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to final concentration of 10%, L-glutamine at a final concentration of 1%, 10mM HEPES (Sigma), 0.1 mM MEM non-essential amino acids (Sigma), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (TM057), and Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution 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:

1) hTERT activity was analyzed via TRAPeze ELISA Detection Kit; 2) Human Cytokine Array 3.1 and III was used to determine cytokine profile; 3) Immunocytochemistry was utilized for determining the presence of cell markers.

Shipping Condition:
