Description

Cell Line Origin

Human Osteosarcoma

Cell Line Description

Cell line derived in 1964 from a moderately differentiated sarcoma of the tibia of a 15 year old girl.

Application

U-2 OS has been used to study:

• the importance of cyclin D1 for the activity of lithocholic acid hydroxyamide (LCAHA)
• the interaction of human single-stranded DNA binding protein 1 (hSSB1) with bloom syndrome protein helicase (BLM helicase)
• calcium-mediated actin reset (CaAR) in response to physiological changes

Culture Medium

McCoy′s 5a medium with 1.5 mM Glutamine; 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).

Subculture Routine

Split subconfluent 0.25% trypsin, 0.03% EDTA solution. Remove the solution and add an additional 1 to 2 ml of trypsin-EDTA solution. Allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or at 37°C) until the cells detach. Add fresh medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks.
