Background
        | Complete Growth Medium | 
				The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated McCoy''''''''s 5a Medium Modified, Catalog No. 30-2007. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.  | 
		
|---|---|
| Subculturing | 
				 
					Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:8 is recommended
				 
				
					Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
				 
				
					Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.03% EDTA solution. Remove the solution and add an additional 1 to 2 mL of trypsin-EDTA solution. Allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or at 37¡ãC) until the cells detach.
				 
				
					Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks.
