Cell Line Origin
Human lymphoblastoid, Ataxia telangiectasia, EBV-transformed
Cell Line Description
Established by EBV transformation of mononuclear cells from the peripheral blood of a 13 year old female with Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) complementation group C. AT is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. Lymphocytes have been shown to be hypersensitive to cytotoxic and clastogenic effects of gamma and X rays. T cells from the same original sample have been used for studies of mutant frequency at the hprt locus, with cells being described as Donor 58 or Patient 2 (see Lancet 1985). Fibroblasts derived from the same individual were reported to have RNA and genomic DNA sequence changes (del, 9nt).
Application
hprt mutation studies, toxicity assays
Culture Medium
RPMI 1640 + 4mM Glutamine + 200 μg/ml Sodium Pyruvate (NaPy) + 15% Heat Inactivated (HI-FBS).
Subculture Routine
Maintain cultures between 3-9 x 100,000 cells/ml, dilute every 1-2 days to 3 x 100,000 cells/ml; 5% CO2, 37°C. Cells form floating aggregates.
