Documentation

Product sheet

BSL 2

ATCC determines the biosafety level of a material based on our risk assessment as guided by the current edition of Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is your responsibility to understand the hazards associated with the material per your organization’s policies and procedures as well as any other applicable regulations as enforced by your local or national agencies.

Cells contain polyomaviral DNA sequences

ATCC highly recommends that appropriate personal protective equipment is always used when handling vials. For cultures that require storage in liquid nitrogen, it is important to note that some vials may leak when submersed in liquid nitrogen and will slowly fill with liquid nitrogen. Upon thawing, the conversion of the liquid nitrogen back to its gas phase may result in the vial exploding or blowing off its cap with dangerous force creating flying debris. Unless necessary, ATCC recommends that these cultures be stored in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen rather than submersed in liquid nitrogen.

General

Specific applications: transfection host
Transfection host, especially for plasmids containing the polyomavirus origin of replication.

Characteristics

Growth properties: Adherent
Derivation: The MOP-8 cell line was derived by transforming NIH 3T3 cells with a hybrid transcription unit composed of the SV40 early promoter fused to the early region of polyomavirus.
Age: embryo
Strain: NIH/Swiss
Immortalization method: SV40 transformed
Comments: The MOP-8 cell line was derived by transforming NIH 3T3 cells with a hybrid transcription unit composed of the SV40 early promoter fused to the early region of polyomavirus.
The cells will support the replication of recombinant plasmids which contain the polyomavirus origin for DNA synthesis.
Tested and found negative for ectromelia virus (mousepox).

Handling information

Unpacking and storage instructions

Check all containers for leakage or breakage.
Remove the frozen cells from the dry ice packaging and immediately place the cells at a temperature below -130°C, preferably in liquid nitrogen vapor, until ready for use.

Complete medium

The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Catalog No. 30-2002. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.

Handling procedure

HANDLING PROCEDURE FOR FROZEN CELLS

- Initiate culture as soon as possible upon receipt.

- Thaw by rapid agitation in 37°C water bath. Thawing should be rapid (within
40-60 seconds). As soon as the ice is melted, remove the ampule from the water
bath and immerse in 70% ethanol at room temperature. All of the operations from
this point on should be carried out under strict aseptic conditions.

- Transfer the cell suspension and dilute it with the recommended culture
medium in a culture flask (see specific batch information above for dilution
ratio); incubate at 37°C with 5% CO₂ in air atmosphere. Since it is important
to avoid excessive alkalinity of the medium during recovery of the cells, it is
suggested that the culture medium be placed into the culture flask, tube, etc.
and the pH be adjusted, as necessary, prior to the addition of the ampule
contents. Note that the bicarbonate content of the culture medium will
determine whether an atmosphere containing CO₂ will be required.

- It is not necessary to remove the freezing additive. However, if desired, the
culture medium may be changed to remove the protective freezing additive
(dimethylsulfoxide) 24 hours after thawing. If it is desired that the freezing
additive be removed immediately, or that a more concentrated cell suspension be
obtained, centrifuge the above diluted suspension at approximately 125 x g for
10 minutes, discard the fluid and resuspend the cells with growth medium at the
dilution ratio given in the specific batch information above.

FLUID RENEWAL
Every 2-3 days.

SUBCULTURE PROCEDURE
Remove medium, add fresh trypsin (0.25%) - EDTA (0.03%) solution, rinse and
remove. Place flask at room temperature (or incubate at 37°C) until cells
detach (approximately 10 minutes). Add fresh medium, aspirate and dispense into
new flasks.
Subcultivation ratio: 1:2 to 1:4.

Subculturing procedure

Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:4 is recommended

Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week

Remove medium, add fresh 0.25% trypsin solution for 2 to 3 minutes, remove trypsin and let the culture sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. Add fresh medium, aspirate and dispense into new flasks.
