  CCR: Cell Type Descriptions   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Cell morphology of a fibroblast cell line will vary somewhat with the culture conditions and with the age of the culture or the age of the cell line, but generally the fibroblastic morphology is spindle shaped (bipolar) or stellate (multipolar); usually arranged in parallel arrays at confluence in contact-inhibited cultures.
B-Lymphoblast cell lines are established at CCR by transformation of B-lymphocytes isolated as peripheral blood mononuclear cells with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) using phytohemaglutinin as a mitogen or identified by a submitter as a B-lymphoblast cell line.
T-Lymphoblast cell lines are established at CCR by transformation of T-lymphocytes isolated as peripheral blood mononuclear cells with human T-cell leukemic virus (HTLV) using interleukin-2 as a mitogen or identified by a submitter as a T-lymphoblast cell line.

 Cell Culture Techniques Introduction
A cell line manufactured from a phenotypically characterized donor, who possibly has a rare genetic disorder, can be used to provide an almost limitless supply of DNA for distribution to research groups worldwide.
Cell line DNA is typically of high quality and a viable cell offers the opportunity to examine other types of molecule, such as RNA or cellular proteins, if required at a later date.
A further 60 cell lines from the 13th IHW collection are due to be added later this year, along with a number of recently banked lines that were originally part of the 10th IHW collection.

 FAQs [Stem Cell Information]
Cells from these embryos can be used to create pluripotent stem cell "lines" —cell cultures that can be grown indefinitely in the laboratory.
This means that embryonic stem cells may be pluripotent—that is, able to give rise to cells found in all tissues of the embryo except for germ cells rather than being merely multipotent—restricted to specific subpopulations of cell types, as adult stem cells are thought to be.
Many of the cell lines have been characterized as embryonic stem cells by detecting expression of surface antigen markers specific to embryonic stem cells, determining if the cells are pluripotent, and demonstrating that the cells are undifferentiated.

Cell culture discard in chloros (10,000) ppm must be kept in the cabinet for a minimum of two hours (preferably overnight) prior to discarding down the sink with copious amounts of water.
Examine the cells using an inverted microscope to ensure that all the cells are detached and floating.
But for lines that grow in clumps it may be necessary to bring the cells into a single cell suspension by centrifugation and resuspension by pipetting in a smaller volume before counting.

Cell Culture Technologies is glad to announce the successful selection, routine maintenance, banking, authentication and certification of the murine myeloma NS0 cell line in its TurboDoma® minimal medium.
The Jurkat E6.1 and U937 cell lines required a slower serum-withdrawal prior to cultivation in Hektor medium, and the concentration of viable cells necessary for starting a culture in said minimal medium was higher.
Cell viability of MOLT-4/8 and PM-1 cells in Hektor minimal medium was about 92-95% throughout the culture experiment, whereas Jurkat and Jurkat E6.1 showed an average viability of 88-90%.

 ATCC: Frequently Asked Questions
However, some cell lines never reach 100% confluency but grow in colonies or domes and should be subcultured when the cells appear to have reached a maximum density for that particular cell line and vessel.
Answer: Suspension cell lines can be fed by the simple addition of fresh medium to the culture (if room is available) or by separating the cells from the old medium by centrifugation (125 x g for 5 min) with subsequent resuspension of the cell pellet in fresh medium.
To recover the cell suspension from a glass ampule, the neck is nicked with a small file, the ampule is washed with 70% ethanol, wrapped between several folds of a sterile towel or gauze and snapped open.

 Nikon MicroscopyU Digital Video Gallery: 3T3 Cell Motility
When the 3T3 line was established in the early 1960s by George Todaro and Howard Green, the cells were considered somewhat of an anomaly.
The majority of cell lines at that time induced tumors when they were injected into animal models, and it was generally accepted that for cells to be immortal, they must also be oncogenic.
The fact that 3T3 cells could apparently grow indefinitely, while being unable to instigate tumor growth, helped scientists delineate for the first time the differences between cell mortality and a cell's ability to undergo oncogenic transformation.

Cell Line Characterization is a series of tests intended to confirm the identity and purity of the cell substrate.
The testing must also verify the absence of cross-contamination and determine if the cells are prone to genetic instability.
If the product is to be marketed internationally, then initial efforts should be placed on developing cell line characterization and testing programs that satisfy regulatory requirements and recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Evaluation Agency (EMEA), and the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare.

 Brain area, age and viral vector-specific glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor expression and transport in rat. ...
Glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor overexpression was induced by injections of recombinant vectors derived from serotype 2 adeno-associated virus or lentivirus.
We found that recombinant adeno-associated viral vector was able to effectively transduce mitral cells of the olfactory bulb and pyramidal cells of CA1, resulting in transport of glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor to the piriform cortex and to the contralateral CA1 area, respectively.
These data suggest that the recombinant adeno-associated viral vector vector system is an optimal alternative for therapeutic glial cell-line-derived neurotrophic factor gene transduction and transport of the protein to the epileptogenic brain areas.
