Description

Origine de la lignée cellulaire

A rat pancreatic Beta cell: RINm5F hybrid cell line. Insulin-secreting cell line

Description de la lignée cellulaire

BRIN-BG5 is a hybrid cell line formed by the electrofusion of a primary culture of NEDH rat pancreatic islets with RINm5F (a cell line derived from a NEDH rat insuliinoma). BRIN-BG5 has been shown to be tumourigenic when transplanted into a SCID mouse host. BRIN-BG5 has been mycoplasma eradicated at ECACC and the stocks available for supply have undergone a further 10 passages without detection of mycoplasma.

Milieu de culture

RPMI 1640 (R0883) + 2 mM L-Glutamine (G7513) + FBS / FCS (F2442)

Procédure de repiquage

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:8 to 1:10, i.e. seeding at 2-4 x 10⁴ cells/cm² using 0.05% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO₂; 37 °C. Population doubling approximately28hrs. At confluence 105 cells/cm² can be expected.
