Product Description
A549 [A-549] Cell Line | EP-CL-0016 | Elabscience
Background: Studies by M. Lieber, et al. revealed that A549 cells could synthesize lecithin with a high percentAge of desaturated fatty acids utilizing the cytidine diphosphocholine pathway.
Species: Homo sapiens, Human
Age: 58 years
Tissue: Lung
Morphology: Epithelial
Growth Properties: Adherent
Organism: Homo sapiens, Human
Species Cell: Human
application: Transfection host.
Doubling Time: ~40 hours
Biosafety: 1
Subculturing: Remove and discard culture medium. Briefly rinse the cell layer with DPBS solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor. Add 1.0 to 2.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 2 to 3 minutes). Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal. Add 4.0 to 6.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
Ratio: 1:3-1:6
Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
