Harvest and Preservation
-
Harvest cells from several cultures that are in the late logarithmic to early stationary phase of growth.xa0 Place culture vessels on ice for 20-30 min.
-
Vigorously invert tubes 20-30 times or as necessary to sufficiently detach cells, then centrifuge at 500 x g for 5 min.xa0 Handle cultures promptly after centrifugation to avoid the amoebae reattaching to the culture tubes.xa0 Note:xa0 Increased yield may be obtained by using a sterile cotton swab to rub the inside surface of culture tubes both before and after centrifugation.xa0 Use of a refrigerated centrifuge will aid in preventing reattachment of cells to culture tubes during or immediately following centrifugation.xa0xa0xa0xa0xa0xa0xa0xa0
-
Adjust the concentration of cells to between 5 x 105/mL - 5 x 106/mL using reduced medium (i.e., supernatant).
-
Mix the cell preparation and the cryoprotective solution in equal portions. xa0Invert the tube several times to obtain a uniform cell density.
-
Dispense 0.5 mL aliquots into 1.0 - 2.0 ml plastic sterile cryules (special plastic vials for cryopreservation).
-
Place the vials in a controlled rate freezing unit.xa0 Use the following cooling cycle: From room temperature cool at -10°C/min to the heat of fusion; from the heat of fusion toxa0-40°C, cool at -1°C/min.xa0xa0At -40°C plunge into liquid nitrogen.xa0 The cooling cycle should be initiated no less than 15 and no more than 30 minutes after the addition of DMSO to the cell preparation.
-
Store ampules in a liquid nitrogen refrigerator until needed.
-
To establish a culture from the frozen state, place an ampule in a 35°C water bath, until thawed (2-3 min).xa0 Immerse the vial just sufficiently to cover the frozen material.xa0 Do not agitate the ampule.
-
Aseptically transfer contents of thawed ampule to a glass, rubber-seal screw-capped tube containing 14-15 mL ATCC Medium 2832.
-
Screw cap on tightly and incubate on a 15° horizontal slant at 10-30°C (20-25°C recommended for routine cultivation).xa0 Observe the culture daily and transfer when many trophozoites are observed.
