The Jurkat cell line (originally called JM) was established in the mid-1970s from the peripheral blood of a 14-year-old boy with T cell leukemia. [2] [3] Different derivatives of the Jurkat cell line that have been mutated to lack certain genes can now be obtained from cell culture banks.
CHO cells in suspension. A cell suspension or suspension culture is a type of cell culture in which single cells or small aggregates of cells are allowed to function and multiply in an agitated growth medium, thus forming a suspension. Suspension culture is one of the two classical types of cell culture, the other being adherent culture. The ...
Adherent cells require a surface, such as tissue culture plastic or microcarrier, which may be coated with extracellular matrix (such as collagen and laminin) components to increase adhesion properties and provide other signals needed for growth and differentiation. Most cells derived from solid tissues are adherent.
Cell samples can be taken from tissue explants or cell suspension cultures. Adherent cell cultures with an excess of nutrient-containing growth medium will continue to grow until they cover the available surface area. [3] Proteases like trypsin are most commonly used to break the adhesion from the cells to the flask. Alternatively, cell ...
Tissue culture flasks. RPMI 1640, simply known as RPMI medium, is a cell culture medium commonly used to culture mammalian cells. [1] RPMI 1640 was developed by George E. Moore, Robert E. Gerner, and H. Addison Franklin in 1966 at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center (formerly known as Roswell Park Memorial Institute), from where it derives its name. [2]
Huh7 cells – hepatocyte-derived carcinoma cell line; Jurkat cells – a human T lymphocyte cell line isolated from a case of leukemia; OK cells – derived from female North American opossum kidney cells; Ptk2 cells – derived from male long-nosed potoroo epithelial kidney cells; Vero cells – a monkey kidney cell line that arose by ...
Microcarrier cell culture, however, was the breakthrough required for cell culture to reach industrial and clinical significance. [2] Studies have shown that microcarrier suspensions, compared to multi-layer vessel culture, improve cell yield by 80-fold at only ten percent of Good Manufacturing Practice space, and only sixty percent of the ...
K562 cells are of the erythroleukemia type, and the cell line is derived from a 53-year-old female chronic myelogenous leukemia patient in blast crisis. [1] [2] The cells are non-adherent and rounded, are positive for the bcr:abl fusion gene, and bear some proteomic resemblance to both undifferentiated granulocytes [3] and erythrocytes. [4]
