Cultured mammalian cells are used extensively in cell biology studies; it requires a number of special skills in order to be able to preserve the structure, function, behavior and biology of the cells. This unit describes the basic skills required to maintain and preserve cell cultures: aseptic technique, medium characteristics, passaging, freezing and storage, recovering frozen stocks, and counting viable cells. - [Read Basic Techniques for Mammalian Cell Tissue Culture Protocol]
Freezing gealthy cells (> 95% viable) the protocol obtains a culture 80-90% viable 24 hours after thawing and growing on test vial from step 9. Antisense Research Group - [Read Cell Freezing using Liquid Nitrogen N2]
Protocol provides methods for cryofreezing and subsequent thawing of mammalian cells. Pre-confluent cells are trypsinized, pelleted, resuspended in freezing medium, and gradually frozen. When needed, frozen cells are thawed quickly under running tap water and transferred to growth medium. - [Read Cryopreservation of Mammalian Culture Cells: Preparation and Recovery of Samples Protocol]
Cryogenic preservation (storage below -100°C) of cell cultures is widely used to maintain backups or reserves of cells without the associated effort and expense of feeding and caring for them. The success of the freezing process depends on four critical areas: Proper handling and gentle harvesting of the cultures; Correct use of the cryoprotective agent; A controlled rate of freezing; Storage under proper cryogenic conditions. - [Read Cryogenic Preservation and Storage of Animal Cells Protocol]
This protocol describes the isolation of fibroblasts from mouse embryos. Mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells are used as a feeder layer for the culture of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells to help maintain them as pluripotent stem cells. The inhibition of ES-cell differentiation provided by the MEF feeders appears to be due to their production of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). - [Read Isolation and Freezing of Primary Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEF) For Feeder Plates]
