General description
MCF10A CELLS HER2 (-/-) EXON 2 are pre-neoplastic mammary epithelial cells from a human adult female with a ZFN modification.
This cell line was derived from ATCC Catalog No. CRL-10317.
Application
Media Renewal changes two to three times per week.
Rapidly thaw vial by gentle agitation in 37°C water bath (~2 minutes), keeping vial cap out of the water. Decontaminate with 70% ethanol, add 9 mL culture media and centrifuge 125 x g (5-7 minutes). Resuspend in complete culture media and incubate at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere.
Subculture Ratio: approx. 1:3-1:8
The base medium for this cell line is Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium/Ham′s Nutrient Mixture F-12, Cat. No. 51448C. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: horse serum, Cat. No. H1270, to a final concentration (v/v) of 5%; cholera toxin, Cat. No. C8052, to a final concentration of 1 ng/mL; human insulin, Cat. No. I9278, to a final concentration of 10 ug/mL; epidermal growth factor, Cat. No. E9644, to a final concentration of 10 ng/mL; and hydrocortisone, Cat. No. H6909, to a final concentration of 0.5 ug/mL.
Cell freezing medium - DMSO 1X, Cat. No. C6164.
Features and Benefits
