Applications:
The line was produced from a fusion of P3/NSI/1-Ag4-1 cells with malignant cells from a human nodular lymphoma.
The cells are deficient in hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) and are excellent fusion partners for human B cells.
Originally the cells secreted human IgM with a lambda light chain; however, with continuous passage they spontaneously lost the ability to secrete immunoglobulin.
Tested and found negative for ectromelia virus (mousepox).

Propagation:
ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%. Temperature: 37.0°C Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
Subculturing:
Protocol: Cultures can be maintained by addition or replacement of fresh medium. Start cultures at 2 X 10(5) cells/ml and maintain between 1 X 10(5) and 1 X 10(6) cells/ml. Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Recommended medium (without the additional serum described under ATCC Medium): ATCC 30-2001
Recommended serum: ATCC 30-2020
Cell culture tested DMSO: ATCC 4-X
Erythrosin B vital stain solution: ATCC 30-2404
