H596 cells

Disease:

Adenosquamous carcinoma

Origin:

The H596 cell line was derived in 1983 from a tumor mass in the chest wall of a patient with adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung. The specimen was obtained prior to therapy.

Species:

Homo sapiens, human

Tissue:

Lung

Morphology:

Epithelial

Properties:

Adherent

Cytogenic data:

Modal number = 71; range = 65 to 75.

Patient:

Male, Caucasian, 73 years of age.

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 1:4 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
