Product Description
PK-15 Cell Line | EP-CL-0187 | Elabscience
Background: The presence of a porcine papovavirus in PK-15 cells has been reported in cells obtained from multiple sources including the ATCC. The Foreign Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory of the US Department of Agriculture has determined that ATCC CCL-33 is not infected with Hog cholera virus or African swine fever virus, and uses this line to screen for those viruses. The cell line harbors an endogenous C-type retrovirus. The cells are positive for porcine circovirus(PCV) antigens. The cells are positive for keratin by immunoperoxidase staining.
Species: Sus scrofa, Pig

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: 1:2-1:4
Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
