Capan-2 Cell Line

General Information
Organism Homo sapiens, human
Cell Line Description Capan-2 is a human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell line established in 1975, derived from a 56-year-old Caucasian male patient. This cell line was isolated from a primary pancreatic tumor. Capan-2 cells exhibit an epithelial morphology and grow as an adherent monolayer. As a well-characterized cellular model, this cell line is frequently utilized in research related to pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Unlike the more aggressive Capan-1 cell line, Capan-2 cells display relatively low morphological heterogeneity and retain a high degree of ductal differentiation characteristics. This cell line is commonly employed to investigate the role of KRAS gene mutations in tumor initiation and progression, the expression patterns of blood group antigens, and the efficacy evaluation of therapeutic agents targeting pancreatic malignancies.

Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing 1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with PBS (without Ca2+/Mg2+) to remove all traces of serum.
3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of 0.25% Trypsin - 0.53 mM EDTA solution and observe under an inverted microscope until the cell layer is dispersed (usually 5 to 15 minutes).
4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and gently pipette to obtain a single-cell suspension.
5. Aliquot cell suspension into new culture vessels.
Medium Renewal 2 to 3 times per week
Subcultivation Ratio A split ratio of 1:2 to 1:4 is recommended
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%; Temperature: 37°C
Cryopreservation Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% to 10% (v/v) DMSO
