This line stains positively with antibody for cytokeratin.
After 50 population doublings, the cells continue dividing and retain cuboidal morphology.
E6E7 sequences were detected by PCR in cells at passage 18.
Epithelial specific antigen was detected using antibody produced by the Ep16 hybridoma (ATCC HB-155).
These cells are grown in Keratinocyte-Serum Free Medium (Gibco 17005-042) with added Keratinocytes Supplements (Gibco 37000-015) including Bovine Pituitary Extract (BPE; Gibco 13028-014) and human recombinant epidermal growth factor (EGF; Gibco 10450-013) further supplemented with:
Do not filter the complete medium.
This medium is formulated for use with a 5% CO2 in air atmosphere.
