Fetal bovine serum (fbs)

Manufactured by Leibniz Institute DSMZ
Sourced in Germany

Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is a commonly used cell culture supplement derived from the blood of bovine fetuses. It contains a complex mixture of proteins, growth factors, and other nutrients that support the growth and proliferation of cells in vitro. FBS is a core component in the maintenance and expansion of various cell lines, including mammalian, insect, and microbial cultures.

The human cancer cell lines A2780 (ECACC #93112519), A2780Ccis (ECACC # 93112517), A549 (ATCC-CCL-185), HT29 (ATCC-HTB-38), and MCF7 (ATCC-HTB-22) were cultivated in RPMI-1640 medium. Non-malignant human fibroblasts CCD18Co (ATCC-CRL-1459) were grown in MEME (both from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Both media were supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Biowest, Nuaillé, France) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich).
The cell lines HH (Cat# ACC 707; RRID:CVCL_1280), and HG-3 (Cat# ACC 765; RRID:CVCL_Y547) were obtained from the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany) and cultivated in RPMI-1640 Medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin/streptavidin (P0781, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). DERL-2 (Cat# ACC 531; RRID:CVCL_2016) was obtained from DSMZ and cultivated in RPMI-1640 Medium with 20% fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin/streptavidin, and 0.02 ng/µL recombinant IL-2 (200-02, Peprotech, Hamburg, Germany). Oci-Ly1 (Cat# ACC 722; RRID:CVCL_1879) was obtained from DSMZ and cultivated in RPMI-1640 Medium with 20% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin/streptavidin.
All cell lines were cultured in a humidified atmosphere at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Passaging did not exceed ten times after thawing. Mycoplasma negativity was confirmed repeatedly using MycoSPY® Master Mix (M020, Biontex, Munich, Germany).

Homozygous mutant human pancreatic cancer cell lines MIA-PACA-2 (mutp53R248W) (DZMS, RRID : CVCL_0428), PANC-1 (mutp53R273H) (ATCC, RRID : CVCL_0480), BXPC-3 (mutp53Y220C) (ATCC, RRID : CVCL_0186), and PA-TU-8902 (mutp53C176S) (DSMZ, RRID : CVCL_1845) were grown in DMEM (Gibco) with 10% FBS (Merck). PA-TU-8988T (mutp53R282W) (DSMZ, RRID : CVCL_1847) were grown in DMEM medium with 5% FBS. CAPAN-1 (mutp53A159V) (ATCC, RRID : CVCL_0237) were grown in RPMI 1640 (Gibco) with 20% FBS, and L3.6pl cells (truncating frameshift p53 mutation) (37 (link), 38 (link)) were grown in RPMI 1640 with 10% FBS. All media were supplemented with Penicillin-Streptomycin (10,000 U/mL, Gibco) and L-Glutamine (Gibco). All cell lines were grown at 37°C at 5% CO2 in a humidified atmosphere and tested for mycoplasma contamination on a regular basis (Mycoplasma Detection Kit, Lonza). Cell line authentication certificates are provided as Supplemental Material.

EwS cell lines were grown as adherent cultures on collagen-coated flasks in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS (Thermo Fisher, Dreieich, Germany) and 2 mM L-glutamin (Sigma-Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany) and maintained at 37 °C and 5% CO2. TC-32, TTC-466, 5838, A4573 were gifts from the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, United States. CADO-ES-1 (#ACC 255), RD-ES (#ACC 260), TC-71 (#ACC 516) and NTERA-2 (#ACC 527) were purchased from DSMZ (Braunschweig, Germany). A673 (#CRL-1598) and SK-N-MC (#HTB-10) from ATCC (Manassas, Virginia, USA). Cell lines MS-EwS-6, MS-EwS-15 and MS-EwS-16 were established in our institution, as reported previously31 (link), and WE-68 and VH-64 were gifts from the Institute of Experimental Orthopedics of our institution. Control cell lines SUP-B15 (B lineage leukemia) (#ACC 389) and HT-1080 (fibrosarcoma) (#ACC 315) were purchased from DSMZ and were cultivated in RMPI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS and 2 mM l-glutamin. Short tandem repeat (STR) profiling was used to confirm the identity of all cell lines (Supplementary Table 1), and all cell lines were regularly checked by PCR to exclude mycobacterial contamination.

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.
