Permissions and restrictions:
DSMZ Cell Culture Data:
Morphology:
round and elongated cells with spindle-shape extensions; the round cells contain almost no cytoplasm; cells grow adherent as monolayer
Medium:
80-85% DMEM + 15-20% h.i. FBS
Subculture:
seed out about 1 x 106 cells/80 cm2; split culture before cells are entirely confluent, (1:3 to 1:5), using trypsin/EDTA
Incubation:
at 37 °C with 10% CO2
Doubling time:
70-80 hours
Harvest:
cell harvest of about 4 x 106 cells/175 cm2
Storage:
frozen with 70% medium, 20% FBS, 10% DMSO
DSMZ Scientific Data:
Mycoplasma:
negative in DAPI, microbiological culture, RNA hybridization, PCR assays
Immunology:
To inquire about expression of EpCAM and intermediate filaments, contact ulfert.rand@dsmz.de.
Authenticity:
STR analysis according to the global standard ANSI/ATCC ASN-0002.1-2021 (2021) resulted in the STR profile of cell line RD.
Cytogenetics:
human bimodal hyperdiploid/tetraploid karyotype with 9.7% polyploidy - 43-50/86-98<4n>XX, -X, -X, +1, -2, -4, +7, +8, -9, -9, -13, -14, -14, -15, -15,- 16, -16, -17, -18, -18, -19, -19, -20, -20, -21, -21, +8-11mar, del(1)(p31), add(1)(p31), i(2p), add(3)(p11), add(5)(q35)x2, del(6)(q22)x2, add(9)(q34)x2, add(12)(q24)x2, der(13)t(6;13)(p12.1;p13)x2, add(14)(p11), add(?14)(q24), i(17q), der(19)t(17;19)(q12;p/q13)x2 - ploidy resembles RD embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma of which TE-671 is a subline
