C127I Cells
General information
Description | The C127I cell line is a murine mammary gland epithelial cell line, commonly used in biomedical research for its ability to synthesize and secrete recombinant proteins. These cells originate from the mammary gland of the BALB/c mouse and are particularly noted for their epithelial morphology and responsiveness to hormones and other growth factors. The C127I cell line has been instrumental in the study of gene expression, signal transduction pathways related to cancer development, and the production of viral vectors for gene therapy. One of the key features of the C127I cell line is its ability to be easily transfected, making it a valuable tool for the production of recombinant proteins and for gene editing studies. It supports the replication of various murine retroviruses, facilitating the production of stable recombinant lines expressing desirable genes. This characteristic has made C127I cells especially useful in the fields of molecular biology and genetics, where they are often employed to explore the effects of gene overexpression or knockdown in a controlled environment. |

Handling
Culture Medium | DMEM, w: 4.5 g/L Glucose, w: 4 mM L-Glutamine, w: 1.5 g/L NaHCO3, w: 1.0 mM Sodium pyruvate (Cytion article number 820300a) |
---|---|
Medium supplements | Supplement the medium with 10% FBS |
Passaging solution | Accutase |
Subculturing | Remove the old medium from the adherent cells and wash them with PBS that lacks calcium and magnesium. For T25 flasks, use 3-5 ml of PBS, and for T75 flasks, use 5-10 ml. Then, cover the cells completely with Accutase, using 1-2 ml for T25 flasks and 2.5 ml for T75 flasks. Let the cells incubate at room temperature for 8-10 minutes to detach them. After incubation, gently mix the cells with 10 ml of medium to resuspend them, then centrifuge at 300xg for 3 minutes. Discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells in fresh medium, and transfer them into new flasks that already contain fresh medium. |
Split ratio | A ratio of 1:5 to 1:15 is recommended |
Fluid renewal | 2 to 3 times per week |
Freezing recovery | After thawing, plate the cells at 5 x 10^4 cells/cm^2 and allow the cells to recover from the freezing process and to adhere for at least 24 hours. |
Freeze medium | CM-1 (Cytion catalog number 800100) or CM-ACF (Cytion catalog number 806100) |
Handling of cryopreserved cultures |

Quality control / Genetic profile / HLA
Sterility | Mycoplasma contamination is excluded using both PCR-based assays and luminescence-based mycoplasma detection methods. To ensure there is no bacterial, fungal, or yeast contamination, cell cultures are subjected to daily visual inspections. |
