HTB-125 Hs 578Bst 人正常乳腺細(xì)胞

Hs 578Bst was derived by A.J. Hackett, et al. from normal breast tissue peripheral to an infiltrating ductal carcinoma which was the source for Hs 578T (see ATCC HTB-126).

Hs 578Bst may have been myoepithelial in origin since the cells possessed microfilaments and clusters of pinocytotic vesicles similar to those seen in myoepithelia in vivo.

No desmosomes were observed, estrogen receptor protein was not present, and no endogenous viruses were detected.

A frozen ampule at unknown population doubling (PDL) was received at the ATCC in 1983. Cells had the potential to reach approximay 22 more population doublings before the onset of senescence. See Batch Specific information for PDL of current Distribution freeze.

Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flasks; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.

1. Remove and discard culture medium.

2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin-0.53mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum which contains trypsin inhibitor.

3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes).
   Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal.

4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.

5. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.

6. Incubate cultures at 37°C.

Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
