Descripción

Cell Line Origin

Human choriocarcinoma

Cell Line Description

One of 6 clones derived from cells implanted into a hamster cheek pouch and then propagated on irradiated feeder layers of human fibroblasts. Cell line releases chorionic gonadotrophin and somatomammotrophin and progesterone. It is also able to transform steroid precursors to oestrone and oestradiol. JEG3 has the same DNA profile as BeWo (Sigma Catalogue number 86082803); it was established by serial cloning of BeWo .

Culture Medium

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

Subculture Routine

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:3 to 1:6 i.e. seeding at 1-3x10,000 cells/cm² using 0.25% trypsin, 5% CO₂; 37°C. Vacuolisation will occur at confluency.
