Yes, in nude mice
Tumors developed within 21 days at 100% frequency (5/5) in nude mice inoculated subcutaneously with 107 cells.
N-myc and sis oncogene expression were not detected.
(Note: The L-15 medium formulation was devised for use in a free gas exchange with atmospheric air. A CO2 and air mixture is detrimental to cells when using this medium for cultivation)
Remove medium, add fresh 0.25% trypsin, 0.02% EDTA for 10 to 20 minutes at 37°C. Add fresh medium, disperse cells and centrifuge to pellet the cells. Resuspend in fresh medium and dispense into new flasks.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:15 is recommended
