Rpmi1640

Manufactured by Leibniz Institute DSMZ
Sourced in Germany

RPMI1640 is a cell culture medium used for the in vitro cultivation of a variety of mammalian cells, including human cells. It is a complex formulation that provides the necessary nutrients, vitamins, and salts to support cell growth and proliferation. The core function of RPMI1640 is to maintain the optimal physiological conditions for cell culture, enabling researchers to study and manipulate cells in a controlled laboratory environment.

KM12(Luc) was purchased from the JCRB cell bank. KM12 (Luc) was used within 6 months after purchase and the DNA profiles were confirmed using a short tandem repeat (STR) analysis by the Korean Cell Line Bank. KM12(Luc) cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and antibiotics. Parental Ba/F3 cells were purchased from DSMZ and were grown in RPMI1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and antibiotics in the presence of IL3, Transformed Ba/F3 cell lines were grown in the same media without IL3. Cells used in this study were negative for mycoplasma contamination. AN3-CA, HEC1A, U138, 8505C, MKN28, MKN45, A172, A375, Capan-1 HeLa, HEP3B, MCF-7 and MIA-paca-2 cells were maintained in DMEM (Welgene, Korea) supplemented with 10% FBS and antibiotics (Welgene, Korea). Otherwise, all cells were maintained in RPMI (Welgene, Korea) supplemented with 10% FBS and antibiotics (Welgene, Korea).

Tumor cell lines, U-251 MG and EGFRvIII-expressing U-251 MG (U-251 MG/EGFRvIII), were described previously (16) . Both cell lines were cultured in DMEM (Gibco) containing 10% FBS (Invitrogen) and 100 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco). Tumor cell lines, U-87 MG/EGFRvIII and GOS-3/EGFRvIII, were generated by transduction of U-87 MG tumor cells (ATCC) and GOS-3 [German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Culture (DSMZ)] with human EGFRvIII cDNA, and were cultured in RPMI1640 (Biochrom) and DMEM containing 10% FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin, and 5 mg/mL Blasticidin (Gibco). The tumor cell line, DK-MG (DSMZ), was cultured in RPMI1640 containing 10% FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin/ streptomycin, and 1 Â nonessential amino acids (NEAA, Biochrom). CHO cells were transduced with wild-type EGFR (HER1), HER2, HER3, HER4, and human and cynomolgus monkey EGFRvIII. CHO cells were cultured in DMEM containing 10% FBS, 10 mmol/L sodium hypoxanthine, 1.6 mmol/L thymidine (1 Â HT Supplement, Gibco), and 1 Â NEAA (Biochrom). Transduced CHO cells were cultured in DMEM containing 10% FBS, 2 mmol/L L-Glutamine (Biochrom), 100 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin, and 1 Â NEAA. T-cell lines, HPB-ALL (DSMZ) and LnPx4119 (described previously; ref. 15) , were cultured in RPMI1640 containing 10% FBS and 100 U/mL penicillin/ streptomycin. All cells were cultured at 37 C in a 5% CO 2 chamber.

The human colorectal cancer cell line HT29 (purchased from the European Cell Culture Collection) and the human chronic eosinophilic leukemia cell line EOL-1 (from DSMZ) were maintained in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine, 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), 100 μg penicillin/mL and 100 μg streptomycin/mL (latter reagents were purchased from PAA) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2. For all assays, HT29 cells were cultivated until 80% confluency; EOL-1 cells were grown in suspension. Primary human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs) were obtained from Promocell, cultured in endothelial cell growth medium MV supplemented with the corresponding supplement mix as provided by the supplier, and 100 μg penicillin/mL and 100 μg streptomycin/mL. HPMECs were sub-cultured using a specific detach kit (PromoCell) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. All experiments with primary cells were performed during the first six passages.

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.
