General Cell Collection Detail
General Cell Collection: 108CC15
| Catalogue No.: | 08062516 |
|---|---|
| Cell Line Name: | 108CC15 |
| Keywords: | Mouse neuroblastoma x Rat glioma hybrid |
| Cell Line Description: | The cell line108CC15 is formed by the fusion of mouse neuroblastoma N18TG2 and rat glioma C6-BU-1using inactivated Sendai virus. This cell line was renamed NG108-15 by Klee and Nirenberg (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. (1974) 71: 3474-77). ECACC has two catalogue entries for the 108CC15 cell line which differ in that they were deposited by different groups: 108CC15 from the original group that derived the cell line (ECACC catalogue number 08062516) and NG108-15 (ECACC catalogue number 88112302). Several other cell lines in the ECACC catalogue have been derived from 108CC15. This is a cholinergic hybrid cell line. |
| Species: | Mouse x rat hybrid |
| Tissue: | Neural |
| Morphology: | Neuronal |
| Growth Mode: | Adherent |
| Subculture Routine: | Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:3 to 1:6 i.e. seeding at 1-2x10,000 cells/cm² using 0.05% trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37°C. The cultures rapidly produce lactic acid through anaerobic glycolysis causing the media to become acidified. The medium must never be allowed to become acidic as cells detach in clumps and take many passages to recover. Frequent inspection of cultures is therefore required. |
| Culture Medium: | DMEM + 2 mM glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) HAT (0.1 mM hypoxanthine, 10 µM aminopterin and 16 µM thymidine) Cells can be cultured without HAT provided they were cultured inbetween in HT medium for 3-4 days |
| Karyotype: | Modal No. varied with passage see reference |
| Products: | Long processes after treatment with dibutyryl cAMP, dense core vesicles, excitable membranes, neurotransmitter enzymes, synthesis of neurohormones and uptake of catecholamines. |
| Receptors: | Receptors for neurohormones: delta opioid, PGE1 vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, adenosine, somatostatin and acetylcholine. |

The HPA Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by HPA Culture Collections are accurate, HPA Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and HPA Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.
Cultures supplied by HPA Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line. Please view the Terms & Conditions of Supply for more information.
