L1210 Cell Line

General Information
Organism Mus musculus, mouse
Cell Line Description In 1954, Dr. Lloyd Law successfully isolated the L1210 cell line by exposing DBA/2 mice to the chemical carcinogen 3-methylcholanthrene. This cell line was derived from the ascites fluid of an 8-month-old female DBA/2 mouse suffering from lymphocytic leukemia. The specific methodology involved applying methylcholanthrene to the mice's skin to induce tumor formation, thereby enabling researchers to investigate the process of cancer development in depth. While the L1210 cells are fundamentally B lymphocytes, they morphologically exhibit the characteristics of lymphoblasts. This cell line is renowned for its exceptionally rapid growth rate and a nearly 100% "take rate" (i.e., successful engraftment rate) within syngeneic hosts. The vigorous growth and extraordinary proliferative capacity of L1210 cells make them an ideal model for studying the pathogenesis of leukemia. Furthermore, L1210 cells grow rapidly in in vitro culture environments and are capable of being maintained in suspension culture. This characteristic renders them an excellent resource for conducting both in vivo experiments and in vitro assays.

Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing 1. Suspension cells do not require enzymatic digestion.
2. Collect the cell suspension by centrifugation (e.g., 1000 rpm for 5 minutes).
3. Discard the supernatant and resuspend the cell pellet in fresh culture medium.
4. Aliquot the cells into new culture vessels according to the desired subculturing ratio.
5. It is recommended to maintain the cell density between 1 x 10^5 and 1 x 10^6 cells/mL.
Medium Renewal Every 2 to 3 days
Subcultivation Ratio 1:10 to 1:20 (due to its extremely high proliferative rate)
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%; Temperature: 37°C
Cryopreservation 90% Complete growth medium + 10% DMSO
