Cell Line Origin
Rabbit corneal epithelial cells, SV40 transformed
Cell Line Description
The RCE cell line, also known as K′RCE, was established after infection of primary cultured rabbit (New Zealand albino) corneal epithelial cells with a recombinant SV40 vector. The cells exhibit a cobblestone-like appearance and stratification, including desmosome formation and microvilli development. Expression of keratin AE1 was always detectable whereas AE5 was expressed only at confluency.
Application
Corneal epithelial research
Culture Medium
DMEM:Ham′s F12 (1:1) + 2mM Glutamine + 5μg/ml Insulin + 10ng/ml EGF + 0.1μg/ml Cholera toxin + 0.5% Dimethyl Sulphoxide (DMSO) + 15% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) (Heat Inactivated).
Subculture Routine
Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:4 i.e. seeding at 2-4x10,000 cells/cm2 using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37°C.
