The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow IV medium available at abm. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 5%, Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution to a final concentration of 1%, Recombinant Human FGF2 to a final concentration of 10 ng/ml, Recombinant Human GH1 to a final concentration of 10 ng/ml, and Recombinant Human HGF to a final concentration of 10 ng/ml.
Change media every 2-3 days.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂): 5%, Temperature: 37.0°C.
Do not use heat-inactivated FBS for cell culture unless specified otherwise.
