Description
Description: Subclone from myoblast line established from normal adult C3H mouse leg muscle. Differentiates rapidly; produces extensive contracting myotubes expressing characteristic muscle proteins. Provides model to study in vitro myogenesis and cell differentiation.
Also Known As:
Species: Mouse
Tissue: muscle
Growth Properties: Adherent
Morphology: Myoblast
Growth Medium: DMEM + 2mM Glutamine + 10-15% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS).
Subculturing Procedure: Cells can be relatively slow growing when resuscitated from frozen, taking 4-5 days to reach 50% confluence when seeded at 2×1, 000 cells/cm². Split semi-confluent cultures 1:3 to 1:6 i.e. seeding at 1-2×1,000 cells/cm² using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37°C. Do not allow cells to reach confluence.
Release Conditions: No
