Comments: | The A3 subclone was derived from a Jurkat cell line obtained from the laboratory of Gerald Crabtree at Stanford University. The Jurkat cells were treated with Fas Antibody and isolated by limiting dilution to obtain a cell line that had a low spontaneous rate of resistance to Fas-medicated apoptosis. [51530] The resulting wild-type A3 subclone is very sensitive to Fas-mediated apoptosis. Wild-type A3 cells were made neomycin resistant and treated with three cycles of exposure to the frameshifting mutagen ICR-191 to isolate clones harboring recessive mutations that were resistant to killing by Fas antibody. [51527] ICR-191 treated clones were serially diluted in 96-well plates in the presence of Fas Antibody for 3 to 5 weeks. [51529] Two of these ICR-191 treated clones have been deposited at the ATCC. They are I 9.2 (ATCC CRL-2571), a clone with a mutation in the cysteine protease caspase-8/FLICE and I 2.1 (ATCC CRL-2572), a clone with a mutation in the adaptor FADD. |
Propagation: | ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%. Temperature: 37.0C |
Subculturing: | Protocol: Cultures can be maintained by addition of fresh medium or replacement of medium. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation with subsequent resuspension in fresh medium at 3 to 5 X 10(5) viable cells/ml. Maintain cultures at cell concentrations between 2 X 10(5) and 2 X 10(6) viable cells/ml. Medium renewal: Add fresh medium every 2 to 3 days (depending on cell density) |
Preservation: | Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase |
Related Products: | Recommended medium (without the additional supplements or serum described under ATCC Medium): ATCC 30-2001 recommended serum: ATCC 30-2020 derivative: ATCC CRL-2571 derivative: ATCC CRL-2572 |
