H441 cells

Disease:
Papillary adenocarcinoma
Origin:
The H441 cell line was derived in 1982 from the pericardial fluid of a patient with papillary adenocarcinoma of the lung.
Species:
Homo sapiens, human
Tissue:
Lung
Morphology:
Epithelial
Properties:
Adherent
Cytogenic data:
Modal number = 52; range = 44 to 59.
Patient:
Male.
Medium:
AddexBio-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium(C0004-01) + 10% FBS
Subculture:
Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.53 mM 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 37C) until the cells detach. Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks. Culture at 5% CO2, 37C. A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:8 is recommended. Renew medium once every 2 to 3 days depending on cell density.
Freezing Medium:
Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
