Product Description
AGS Cell Line | EP-CL-0022 | Elabscience
Background: The cells have a plating efficiency of 34% in the medium below. The line was cured at the ATCC of a prior mycoplasma infection . Subsequently, AGS has been determined to be infected with Parainfluenza type 5(PIV5 formerly known as SV5).
Species: Homo sapiens, Human
Age: 54 years
Tissue: Stomach
Morphology: Epithelial

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: Every 2 to 3 days
