Description

Origine de la lignée cellulaire

Rat Skeletal muscle myoblast

Description de la lignée cellulaire

The myogenic cell line L8 was isolated by D Yaffe in 1969 by selective serial passage of myoblasts from primary rat skeletal muscle cell cultures (new born, non-in-bred Wistar rats). Subsequently they were recloned by H Blau. L8 cells differentiate into cross-striated myotubes by fusion and express several muscle-specific proteins. The myoblast population will be depleted if cells are allowed to become confluent before sub-culturing. Therefore, sub-cultivation before confluency and periodical re-cloning is necessary. The preparation of a frozen stock at early passage is recommended.

Application

Study of muscle differentiation, expression and analysis of muscle-specific proteins

Milieu de culture

DMEM : Medium 199 (4:1) + 2mM Glutamine + 1% CEE (Chick Embryo extract (Seralab)) + 10% Horse Serum (HS).

Procédure de repiquage

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:5 to 1:10 i.e. seeding at 5x1,000 cells to 1x10,000 cells/cm² using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO₂; 37°C; sub-cultivate before confluency and reclone periodically.
