Description

GFP-Expressing Monkey Primary Dermal Fibroblasts from Cell Biologics are isolated from Monkey skin tissue and grown in gelatin pre-coated tissue culture flask with Cell Biologics’ Complete Growth Medium. Cells at passage 2-3 are harvested from flasks and cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains 0.5x10⁶ cells per ml and is delivered frozen. GFP-Expressing Monkey Primary Dermal Fibroblasts from Cell Biologics are characterized by their spindle morphology and immunofluorescent staining with anti-fibroblast-specific protein 1 or anti-Vimentin antibody. These cells are negative for mycoplasma, bacteria, yeast, fungi, HIV-1, hepatitis B and hepatitis C and can be expanded for 3-5 passages at a split ratio of 1:2 under the cell culture conditions specified by Cell Biologics. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells are not recommended.

The green fluorescent protein (GFP) gives rise to very bright green fluorescence when exposed to blue light. Cell Biologics generates various GFP-expressing stable cells. GFP-expressing cells are developed through transducing GFP-lentiviral particles.

Suggested Medium

M2267 Complete Fibroblast Medium w/ Kit – 500 ml

Storage

Cryopreserved cells are shipped with dry ice overnight. Upon arrival, transfer frozen cells to liquid nitrogen (-180°C) immediately until ready for use. Live cell shipment is also available on request. Primary cells can never be kept at -20 °C or -80 °C freezer.

Disclaimer

Investigators should handle the cells received from Cell Biologics with caution and treat all primary cells as potential pathogens, since no test procedure can completely guarantee the absence of infectious agents.
