Cell Line Origin
A rat pancreatic Beta cell: RINm5F hybrid cell line. Insulin-secreting cell line
Cell Line Description
BRIN-BG5 is a hybrid cell line formed by the electrofusion of a primary culture of NEDH rat pancreatic islets with RINm5F (a cell line derived from a NEDH rat insuliinoma). BRIN-BG5 has been shown to be tumourigenic when transplanted into a SCID mouse host. BRIN-BG5 has been mycoplasma eradicated at ECACC and the stocks available for supply have undergone a further 10 passages without detection of mycoplasma.
Culture Medium
RPMI 1640 (R0883) + 2 mM L-Glutamine (G7513) + FBS / FCS (F2442)
Subculture Routine
Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:8 to 1:10, i.e. seeding at 2-4 x 104 cells/cm2 using 0.05% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37 °C. Population doubling approximately28hrs. At confluence 105 cells/cm2 can be expected.
