Product Description
MSTO-211H cell line | EP-CL-0163 | Elabscience
Background: This cell line was established in 1985 from the the pleural effusion of metastatic site on biphasic mesothelioma. The 62-year-old male Caucasian patient had not received prior radiation or chemotherapy. The cells have EGF binding sites with high binding affinity. The cells express alpha- and beta-subunits of human chorionic gonadotropin as well as Neuron specific enolase. L-DOPA decarboxylase, bombesin and neurotensin were not detected in the cells. C-myc protooncogene is overexpressed by the cells with no gene rearrangement/amplification observed. The cells are positive for the expression of v-src, v-abl, v-erb B, c-raf 1, Ha-ras, Ki-ras, and N-ras. No detectable expression of N-myc, L-myc, c-myb, c-fos, v-fes, v-fms and v-sis. A saturation cell density of 400,000 cell/cm2 can be reached with cell surface slough off.
Species: Homo sapiens, Human

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: 4
Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
