General description

Medium 199 is a combination of vitamins, amino acids, and other factors that were originally developed as a completely defined media formulation for the culture of primary explants. This medium, when properly supplemented has broad applicability, particularly for non-transformed cells. Medium 199 is widely used for vaccine production, in vitro cultivation of primary pancreatic explants, and lens tissues.

Application

Medium 199 has been used:
  • to culture the primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) for use in cell viability assay
  • to flush the uterine horn of gilts to recover day 12 conceptuses from uteri
  • to culture the peritoneal cells and immortalized human mesothelial cells (MeT-5A and ATCC-CRL-9444)

Quantity

Formulated to contain 9.4 grams of powder per liter of medium.

Reconstitution

Supplement with 0.1 g/L L-glutamine, 2.2 g/L sodium bicarbonate.
