SU-DHL-4, SU-DHL-6, HBL-1, and OCI-Ly-10 DLBCL cell lines were gifts from Dr. Ronald Levy (Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA). Raji and Daudi human Burkitt lymphoma (BL), Karpas 299 anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and Jurkat T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).
SU-DHL-4, HBL-1, LCL, Raji, Daudi, Karpas 299, and Jurkat cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) plus 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (FCS; Omega Scientific, Tarzana, CA, USA), 100 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin, and 2 mmol/L L-glutamine, at 37°C in 5% CO2. SU-DHL-6 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium plus 20% FCS. OCI-Ly-10 cells were cultured in Iscove’s Modified Dulbecco’s Media(IMDM) complete medium plus 20% fresh human plasma (heparinized) instead of FCS.
