Culturing HeLa Cervical Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human cervical cancer cell line HeLa was obtained from Keio University in Japan, and cultured in Ham's F12 medium (Wako Pure Chemical, Osaka, Japan) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco Life Technologies; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Wako Pure Chemical). Cells were incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2. To confirm the identity of the analyzed cell line, we performed short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping, which revealed correspondence with more than 80% of the markers tested. We found no mycoplasma in cells tested with MycoAlert mycoplasma detection kit (Lonza).

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.
