Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
Cells were transfected with pVitro2-mRuby2-blast plasmid using JetPrime (polyplus) transfection reagent. Stably-transfected cells were selected for by using 3 µg/mL blasticidin for 10 days. Clones were selected using flow cytometry and expanded. A specific clone was selected for subsequent testing and deposit.
CRL-3268 were generated by transfecting C3H10T1/2; cells (ATCC® CCL-226™) with fluorescently labeled mRuby2 protein. They are similar to untransfected C3H10T1/2; cells in terms of cell proliferation, osteogenic, chrondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation. They remain sensitive to post confluence inhibition of cell division.
These cells were stablely transfected with the mRuby2 gene via plasmid transfection and 3 µg/mL blasticidin selection for 10 days. This clone was isolated using flow cytometry.
Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flasks; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.
Subcultivation Ratio: Seed new flasks at 2000 viable cells/cm2.
Medium Renewal: Once between subcultures if necessary
