GL261 Cell Line

General Information
Organism Mus musculus, mouse
Cell Line Description GL261 is a murine glioma cell line originally induced by the intracranial implantation of methylcholanthrene pellets into C57BL/6 mice. It currently stands as the most widely utilized syngeneic, immunocompetent model in the study of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). GL261 cells exhibit a mixed morphology displaying characteristics of both fibroblasts and epithelial cells, effectively mimicking the aggressive growth, infiltrative properties, and immunosuppressive microenvironment characteristic of human GBM. Given its syngeneity with the C57BL/6 mouse strain, this model has become the preferred choice for investigating tumor-immune system interactions, evaluating the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors (such as anti-PD-1/CTLA-4 antibodies), and testing novel dendritic cell vaccines or CAR-T cell therapies within the central nervous system.

Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing 1. Remove and discard the culture medium.
2. Briefly rinse the cell monolayer with PBS (Ca²⁺/Mg²⁺-free) to thoroughly remove residual 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 monolayer has dispersed (typically requiring 3 to 7 minutes).
4. Add complete growth medium to neutralize the trypsin, and gently pipette to create a single-cell suspension.
5. Aliquot the cell suspension into new culture vessels.
Medium Renewal 2 to 3 times per week
Subcultivation Ratio A split ratio of 1:3 to 1:8 is recommended
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%; Temperature: 37°C
Cryopreservation Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% to 10% (v/v) DMSO
