Description

Origine de la lignée cellulaire

Human Caucasian hepatocyte carcinoma

Description de la lignée cellulaire

The Hep G2 cell line has been isolated from a liver biopsy of a male Caucasian aged 15 years, with a well differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma. The cells secrete a variety of major plasma proteins e.g. albumin, α2-macroglobulin, α 1-antitrypsin, transferrin and plasminogen. They have been grown successfully in large scale cultivation systems. Hepatitis B virus surface antigens have not been detected. The cells will respond to stimulation with human growth hormone.

Application

Hep G2 cell line human has been used to study the cytotoxicity of carbon monoxide-releasing molecules and organic solvents on HepG2 cells and to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of aqueous extracellular polysaccharides (AEPS) for HepG2 using the MTT colorimetric assay.

Milieu de culture

EMEM (EBSS)+ 2mM Glutamine + 1% Non Essential Amino Acids NEAA) + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum FBS / FCS.

Procédure de repiquage

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:3 to 1:6 i.e. seeding at 2-3x10,000 cells/cm² using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO₂; 37°C. Cells might take 6 days to form a confluent monolayer without media change if seeded at 1:4. Until then growth occurs mainly in islands.
