Comments:
The M2-10B4 cell line is a clone derived from bone marrow stromal cells from a (C57BL/6J X C3H/HeJ)F1 mouse.
The cells express laminin and collagen IV, but do not express collagen I or Factor VIII.
The cells will support human and murine myelopoiesis in long term culture, and will support certain murine stromal cell dependent pre-B cell lines in vitro.
Propagation:
ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%. Temperature: 37.0°C Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
Subculturing:
Protocol: Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.53 mM EDTA solution. Remove the solution and add an additional 1 to 2 ml of trypsin-EDTA solution. Allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or at 37C) until the cells detach. Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks. Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:6 to 1:10 is recommended Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Recommended medium (without the additional supplements or serum described under ATCC Medium):ATCC 30-2001
recommended serum:ATCC 30-2020
