Applications |
Useful for visualization of sarcoma virus-induced foci and for an in vitro quantitative assay for bovine papilloma virus.
Host for transfection with plasmids containing bovine papilloma virus DNA.
C127I cells are suitable hosts for transformation with bovine papilloma virus DNA plasmids (ATCC 37110, ATCC 37111, ATCC 37112, ATCC 39475) |
Complete Growth Medium |
Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with 4.5 g/L glucose; 90%; fetal bovine serum, 10%
Phenol Red is a structural mimic for estrogen. Therefore the estrogenic activity of phenol red should be considered in any studies that utilize estrogen-responsive cells in culture (RefBerthois Y, et al. Phenol red in tissue culture media is a weak estrogen: implications concerning the study of estrogen-responsive cells in culture. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83: 2496–2500, 1986. PubMed: 3458212). The Phenol Red-free version of DMEM, is ATCC catalog No. 30-2601. |
Subculturing |
Remove medium, rinse with fresh 0.25% trypsin, 0.03% EDTA solution for 2 to 3 minutes, remove trypsin and let the culture sit at room temperature (or 37°C) until cells detach (about 10 minutes). Add fresh medium, aspirate and dispense into new flasks.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:5 to 1:15 is recommended
Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week |
