  • Name: D38 Cell Line
  • Organism: Human
  • Tissue: Tongue
  • Disease: Cancer
  • Model: Tumour line
  • Conditional: No
  • Description: D38 Cell Line is derived from a leukoplakia biopsy. The cell line was notable in its proliferative capacity, considered immortal after having completed more than 100 PDs (population doublings ) when maintained on a feeder layer of irradiated 3T3 fibroblasts. D38 was categorised as having a mild dysplasia pathology.
  • Production details: Biopsies were trypsinized and cultured until a growing population of cells was obtained in a 9-cm plate and then passaged once to give a stock culture that was frozen. All cells were maintained on irradiated 3T3 feeders, in 10H medium. The 3T3 feeder layer was removed by treatment with 0.02% EDTA prior to RNA and protein extraction.
  • Cellosaurus id: CVCL_HF99

Handling
