G422 Cell Line

General Information
Organism Mus musculus, mouse
Cell Line Description The G422 mouse glioma cell line is a glioblastoma cell line derived from mouse brain tissue. It originated from an astrocytoma induced by the intracranial implantation of methylcholanthrene into Km mice; following 120 passages, this tumor ultimately transformed into a glioma. G422 cells exhibit highly malignant characteristics, specifically manifesting as rapid intracranial growth, extreme invasiveness into the surrounding brain parenchyma, and a resulting high mortality rate in host animals. This cell line serves as a critical tool for investigating the biological properties of malignant gliomas, assessing the ability of anti-tumor drugs to penetrate the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and evaluating the efficacy of surgical interventions, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy in immunocompetent hosts.

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 1.0 to 2.0 mL of 0.25% Trypsin - 0.53 mM EDTA solution and observe under an inverted microscope until the cell layer is dispersed (usually 2 to 5 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 1:3 to 1:6 is recommended
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%; Temperature: 37°C
Cryopreservation Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% to 10% (v/v) DMSO
