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.
This cell line can be used as a feeder layer to support the growth of embryonic stem cells [PubMed: 17576687; PubMed: 16236760] and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells [PubMed: 18079707]. Inclusion of puromycin in the medium is not necessary for normal cell growth.
ATCC tested that this cell line is resistant to:
Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flask; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.Remove and discard culture medium.
