Book Summary: Animal cell culture is an important laboratory technique in the biological and medical sciences. Clear trypsin solution observed. Figure 3.
Morphology of trypsinize cell. Most of cells detached. Figure 4. Two sterile flask with cells produced after subculture for cell maintenance. Morphology of confluent MCF-7 cells in flask number 1. Figure 6. Morphology of confluent MCF-7 cells in flask number 2. The complete sterile medium is stored in 4oC refrigerator to maintain the quality of its nutritive component.
RPMI is a basal medium consisting of vitamins, amino acids, salts, glucose, glutathione and a pH indicator. It contains no proteins or growth promoting agents.
Above pH 8. It will change from red to yellow when the pH value decreases. If contamination occurs to the prepared medium, the media will turns cloudy. Anchorage-dependent cell involves the detachment of cell from the growth surface. The cells are detached from their anchor by the process of trypsinization. The proteolytic enzyme, trypsin is used to break down the proteins that bind the cells to the culture surface.
Prior the trypsinization step of anchorage MCF-7 cells, the culture flasks are examined carefully by using inverted microscope for sign of contamination or deterioration, old medium is discarded. The flasks are rinsed with 3 mL PBS for three times to remove traces of serum which would inhibit the action of trypsin. PBS is a physiological buffer according osmolarity and pH. In addition to maintaining a constant pH, PBS in general has an osmolarity that matches those of the human body isotonic and is non-toxic to the cells.
Besides that, trypsin solution in this practice contains EDTA. EDTA is used as a chelating agent that binds to calcium and prevents joining of cadherins between cells, preventing clumping of cells grown in liquid suspension, or detaching adherent cells for passaging. Complete medium of RPMI contains Calcium and Magnesium ions, foetal calf serum contains proteins that are trypsin inhibitors.
EDTA is a Calcium chelator which will clear up the remaining divalent cations. The maximum time of the cells stay in contact trypsin-EDTA is about 15 minutes because if trypsin is allowed to stay in contact with the cells for too long a time, cell viabilty will reduce as the protein in the MCF-7 cell surface is degraded. Only 1. If the cells are not detach, it will be incubated for another 5 minutes or some slow mechanical force will be used. Each 5 mL of the solution is transferred into new culture flasks 25cm2.
Cultured cells must be maintain for it to grow well.
