| Disease： | gliosarcoma |
| Applications： | This cell linexa0is one of few models that permit quantitative analysis of microscopic tumor in the brain.
The tumor mimics important features of human brain tumor growth and spread. |
| Storage Conditions： | liquid nitrogen vapor phase |
| Derivation： | The 9L/lacZ cell line was developed in 1989 from the 9L cell line (rat nitrosourea induced gliosarcoma cell line).
9L cells were infected with the BAG replication deficient retroviral vector carrying the E. coli lacZ gene encoding beta-gal and the Tn5 neomycin gene, which confers resistance to G418.
The cells were cultured in G418 for 14 days, cloned, and evaluated for beta-gal production.
9L/lacZ produced high levels of the enzyme, and was selected for study. |
| Genes Expressed： | beta galactosidase (beta-gal) |
| Tumorigenic： | Yes |
| Effects： | Yes, forms tumors in the brains of CD Fischer 344 rats |
| Comments： | The cells constitutively express the lacZ reporter gene product, E. coli derived beta-gal, as revealed on tissue sections by histochemical stain, and single tumor cells can be identified.
Lymphocytes and other responding cells can be identified by double labeling with antibodies on the same slide.
The contrast between stained cells and background facilitates image analysis.
The beta-gal expression is very stable, but cells may need to be re-cloned after months of growth in culture. |
| Complete Growth Medium： | Dulbeccos modified Eagles medium with 4.5 g/L glucose, and 1 mM sodium pyruvate 90%; fetal bovine serum, 10%
|
| Subculturing： | Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flask; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.
Subculture Ratio: 1:4 to 1:8 Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times a week.
Note: For more information on enzymatic dissociation and subculturing of cell lines consult Chapter 10 in Culture of Animal Cells, a manual of Basic Technique by R. Ian Freshney, 3rd edition, published by Alan R. Liss, N.Y., 1994.
