7. Exercise 3. Cell Line maintenance and cell passage

8. General procedure for the cell culture laboratory 1. Thawing cells Culture of cell lines( frozen stock)  Thaw  Cell line maintenance

9. Day 1 frozen culture( -190 o C) 1 ml in frozen medium  37 o C, thaw  Add, 10ml culture medium( DMEM+FBS+p/s)  1200 rpm, 5 min  Remove suspension  resuspend cell pellet with 5 ml growth medium  plating 10 6 cells/ml

10. Day 2 Culture( cells checked under inverted microscope)  Remove culture medium, Replace with fresh culture medium (3ml)

11. Day3 subculture  remove culture medium  cells washed with 2ml CMF/PBS  remove PBS  cells, trypsinize with 1x trypsin( 0.025%) ( flush cell by pipetting repeatly)  cells taken into 15ml centrifuge tube  1200 rpm, centrifuge, 10min  trypsin, removed add 5 ml DMEM  cells diluted for plating( 1/4 dilution) in 6 mm cullture dish  37 o C, CO2 incubator

12. 2 to 3 days later cells trypsinize with 1x tyrpsine ( protocols follow the previous page )  cells, resuspend with 5 ml DMEM  cell, 10 ul was taken+ 10ul trypane blue  cell counting

13. haemacytometer 10 ul cellwas taken+ 10ul trypane blue

15. (N1+N1)/2 /4 *2 * 10 4 =cells/mlCell number= N1 N2

20. Cell freezing ( 10 6 cells /ml) confluent cultures  cells trypsinized  cell counting  cell pellet resuspend in frozen medium  -20 o C( 2-4hrs)  -70 o C(2-4hrs)  -196 o C ( DMEM+10%DMSO)

21. Gradually Lower temperature to -20 o C in ( 2-4hrs)  -70 o C(2-4hrs)  -196 o C http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtElKq85OuM&feature=related Freezing Cells
