NCI-H661 Cell Line

General Information
OrganismHomo sapiens, human
Cell Line DescriptionNCI-H661 is an epithelioid cell line isolated from the lung of a 43-year-old Caucasian male with lung cancer. NCI-H661 cells lack ultrastructural and biochemical evidence of mucin production and squamous differentiation. NCI-H661 cells express easily detectable p53 mRNA at levels significantly higher than those of normal lung cells, while lacking gross structural DNA aberrations that would indicate point mutations or minor variants. NCI-H661 cells stain positive for keratin and vimentin fibers and negative for neurofilament triads.

Culture Conditions and Handling
SubculturingThe volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flasks. For culture vessels of other sizes, the amount of dissociation medium should be proportionally reduced or increased.
1. Remove and discard the medium.
2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) trypsin - 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum containing trypsin inhibitors.
3. Add 1.0 to 3.0 mL of trypsin-EDTA solution to the flask and observe the cells under an inverted microscope until the cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes). Note: To avoid clumping, do not agitate the cells by tapping or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach can be placed at 37℃ to facilitate dispersion.
4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and gently pipette to aspirate the cells.
5. Transfer the cell suspension to a centrifuge tube and spin at approximately 125 x g for 5 to 10 minutes.
6. Discard the supernatant and resuspend the cells in fresh growth medium. Add the appropriate cell suspension to a new culture vessel.
7. Place the culture vessel in a 37℃ incubator.
Medium Renewal2 to 3 times per week
Subcultivation RatioThe ratio of 1:3 to 1:5 is recommended.
Culture MediumRPMI 1640, w: 2.1 mM stable Glutamine, w: 2.0 g/L NaHCO3. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Culture ConditionsAtmosphere: Air, 95%; CO2, 5%; Temperature: 37℃
CryopreservationComplete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO
