Sk n fi

Manufactured by Leibniz Institute DSMZ
Sourced in Germany

The SK-N-FI is a neuroblastoma cell line derived from a metastatic tumor of the human nervous system. It is a commonly used model for the study of neuroblastoma, a type of cancer that originates in the nerve tissue. The SK-N-FI cell line maintains the characteristics of the original tumor and is a valuable tool for researchers investigating the biology and treatment of this disease.

Neuroblastoma Cell Line Authentication

Neuroblastoma cell lines LAN-6, GI-ME-N, as well as SK-N-FI were directly purchased from the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen (DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany) or American Type Culture Collection (ATCC/LGC Standards, Molsheim Cedex, France), respectively. Furthermore, SK-N-BE(2)C, IMR-5/75, and CLB-GA were provided by the laboratories of H. Deubzer, F. Westermann and J. H. Schulte, respectively. All cell lines not directly purchased from ATCC or DSMZ were authenticated by STR profiling at the DSMZ. IMR-5/75, SK-N-BE(2)C, GI-ME-N, and CLB-GA were grown in RPMI1640 with 10% FBS; LAN-6 and SK-N-FI were cultured in DMEM with 20% FBS. All cell lines were cultured without antibiotics and routinely tested negative for mycoplasma.

Neuroblastoma Cell Lines Culture Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human neuroblastoma cells lines, NB69, SK-N-FI and IMR-5/75, were purchased from the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen (Braunschweig, Germany) and cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 media (GIBCO) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. SK-N-BE(2) cells were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Wesel, Germany), and cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, GIBCO) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum. The NXS2 murine neuroblastoma cell line19 (link) was kindly provided by Holger N. Lode (University Medicine Greifswald, Germany) and cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 µg/mL streptomycin. All cell lines were cultured at 37°C in 5% CO2. Cell line identity was assured by short tandem repeat DNA genotyping. Cultures were routinely tested for mycoplasma using the PlasmoTest Kit (Invitrogen).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
