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.
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.
Origin: The human prostatic carcinoma cell line LNCaP (previously described) was co-inoculated into an athymic male nude mouse with human fibroblasts derived from an osteosarcoma. The nude mouse host was castrated after 8 weeks incubation. A tumor specimen was excised after a total of 12 weeks. The C4 cell line constitutes the in vitro cultured subline grown from the murine host’s tumor. When the C4 sub-line was subsequently co-inoculated with MS osteosarcoma fibroblasts in a castrated athymic male nude mouse host for another 12 weeks by the same protocol described above. Prostatic epithelial cells cultured from the resultant tumor in this host constituted the C4-2 subline.
To prepare the T-medium supplement:
Item Name | Vendor & Catalog Number | Final Concentration of Media in 1L | Amount to prep 1L |
Insulin | Gibco 12585-014 | 10 µg/mL | 10 mg |
3,3',5-Triiodo-L-thyronine | Sigma T2877 | 27.3 µg/mL | 27.3 mg |
Apo-transferrin (Human) | Sigma T4382 | 8.8 µg/mL | 8.8 mg |
D-Biotin | Sigma 47868 | 0.488 µg/mL | 0.488 mg |
Adenine | Sigma A3159 | 25 µg/mL | 25 mg |
PBS | ATCC 30-2200 | N/A | 1 L |
BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) | Sigma | N/A | 1 g |
Make 100 mL of 0.1% BSA/PBS solution. Combine all components, mix well, and sterilize using a 0.22 micron filter. Aseptically dispense 5.7 mL into sterile tubes.
To ensure the highest level of viability, thaw the vial and initiate the culture as soon as possible upon receipt. If upon arrival, continued storage of the frozen culture is necessary, it should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -70°C. Storage at -70°C will result in loss of viability.
The product is provided 'AS IS' and the viability of ATCC® products is warranted for 30 days from the date of shipment, provided that the customer has stored and handled the product according to the information included on the product information sheet, website, and Certificate of Analysis. For living cultures, ATCC lists the media formulation and reagents that have been found to be effective for the product. While other unspecified media and reagents may also produce satisfactory results, a change in the ATCC and/or depositor-recommended protocols may affect the recovery, growth, and/or function of the product. If an alternative medium formulation or reagent is used, the ATCC warranty for viability is no longer valid. Except as expressly set forth herein, no other warranties of any kind are provided, express or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, manufacture according to cGMP standards, typicality, safety, accuracy, and/or noninfringement.
