HT29 Cell Line
| General Information | |
| Organism | Homo sapiens, human |
| Cell Line Description | HT-29 is a human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line with epithelial morphology. HT-29 is sensitive to the chemotherapeutic drugs 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin, which is a standard treatment option for colorectal cancer. In addition to being a xenograft tumor model for colorectal cancer, the HT-29 cell line is also used as an in vitro model to study absorption, transport, and secretion by intestinal cells. Under standard culture conditions, these cells grow as an undifferentiated and nonpolarized multilayer. However, altering culture conditions or treating the cells with various inducers can result in a differentiated and polarized morphology, characterized by the redistribution of membrane antigens and development of an apical brush-border membrane. |

| Culture Conditions and Handling | |
| Culture Medium | McCoy’s 5A + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum FBS / FCS. |
| Subculturing | 1. Remove and discard culture medium. 2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin - 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor. 3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask; observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed. 4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium, aspirate cells by gently pipetting. 5. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels. 6. Incubate cultures at 37°C. |
| Split Ratio | A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:8 is recommended. |
| Medium Renewal | 2 to 3 times per week |
| Incubation Condition | Carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%; 37°C |
| Freeze Medium | Complete culture medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO |
