CT26 Cell Line

General Information
OrganismMus musculus, mouse
SynonymsCT-26; CT 26; CT-26 WT
Cell Line DescriptionCT26 is a murine colorectal carcinoma cell line which is from a BALB/c mouse. The cell is a clone of the N-nitroso-N-methylrethane-induced undifferentiated CT26 colon carcinoma cell line. These cells are adherent and have a fibroblast morphology. They will form tumors and metastases post implantation into syngenic BALB/c mice or immunocompromised mice.
TissueColon
DiseaseMouse colon adenocarcinoma
StrainBALB/c
Cell TypeFibroblast
Product FormatFrozen
Growth ModeAdherent
ApplicationsCT26 cells are suitable for in vitro and in vivo experimentation. These syngenic BALB/c mice and immunocompromised mice can be used for life studies, and will form tumors following implantation of the cells.
Shipped inDry ice

Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing
  1. Remove and discard culture medium.
  2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin-0.03% (w/v) EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum which contains trypsin inhibitor.
  3. Add 2.0-3.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed. Note: In order to avoid clumping, do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach can be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal.
  4. Add 6.0-8.0 mL of complete growth medium and then aspirate cells by gently pipetting.
  5. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to the new culture vessels.
  6. Incubate cultures at 37°C.
Subcultivation RatioThe ratio of 1:4 to 1:10 is recommended.
Fluid RenewalEvery 2 to 3 days.
Freeze MediumComplete growth medium 95%; DMSO, 5%
Culture Temperature37°C
AtmosphereCarbon dioxide (CO2), 5%; air, 95%
