Description

Cell Line Origin

An immortalised Lewis rat brain vascular endothelial cell line

Cell Line Description

GPNT was derived from the immortalised rat brain endothelial cell line GP8 by lipofectin-mediated transfection with a vector containing the puromycin resistance gene. GPNT exhibits a non-transformed phenotype.

DNA Profile

Not specified

Culture Medium

Hams F10 + 10% Heat-inactivated FCS + 2 mM Glutamine + 2 ng/ml basic fibroblast growth factor + 80 μg/ml heparin. All plasticware is pre-coated for several hours with collagen (Type I from calf skin) at 10μg/cm2 from a 0.01% solution in acetic acid. After removal the coated plasticware is exposed to a mMonia vapour for 5 min. Plasticware must be rinsed thoroughly with PBS prior to use.

Subculture Routine

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:4 to 1:10 , i.e., seeding at 3 x 10,000 cells/cm² using 0.05% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO₂; 37 °C. Population doubling approx 10hrs.
