Disease:

Acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome

Origin:

Established at diagnosis of a 68-year-old male with acute myeloid leukemia (AML M6) secondary to myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS, subtype refractory anemia with excess of blasts, RAEB) in 1989; cells were described to be proliferatively responsive to GM-CSF and IL-3. Cells have been shown to synthesize haemoglobin when GM-CSF or IL-3 is substituted by erythropoietin (Epo). They have been reported to be positive for leukocyte common antigen (CD45) and some multilineage markers such as CD13, CD33 and CD34, but are negative for T- and B-cell antigens and mature myelomonocytic antigens. Due to their reaction with some monoclonal antibodies recognising erythroid and platelet glycoproteins it has been suggested that F-36P has a multilineage phenotype.

Patient:

Male, 68 yrs of age

Medium:

RPMI-1640 Medium + 20% FBS + 10 ng/mL GM-CSF or 5 ng/mL rh IL-3

Subculture:

Subculture saturated culture 1:3 to 1:8 every 2-5 days; seed out at ca. 0.3-0.5 x 10^6 cells/ml; maintain at ca. 1.0 x 10^6 cells/ml; maximum density at ca. 1.8 x 10^6 cells/ml. Upon cytokine withdrawal cells do not die but undergo a stationary survival status. REMARKS: by favoring selective growth, suboptimal culture of cytokine-dependent cell lines may promote growth of factor-independent subclones. Selective conditions include cytokine insufficiency and inadequate cell density. Therefore, we cannot guarantee indefinite stability of factor-dependence of cell lines. Culture at 5% CO2; 37°C

Freezing Medium:

Complete culture medium supplemented with 7.5% (v/v) DMSO
