Source and Background
The IMR-90 cell line was developed by W. W. Nichols and colleagues from16 week old female fetusIt was isolated from normal lung tissue and is a human diploid fibroblast.
The division potential, viral susceptibility, and other characteristics of this cell have been extensively studied and can serve as an alternative to WI-38 (another commonly used human lung fibroblast cell line) and other standard human lung cell lines.
According to reports, IMR-90 cells exhibitThe population doubling frequency (PDL) is approximately 58 times.
culture conditions
1. Complete growth medium
The basic culture medium is Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium prepared by ATCC, item number 30-2003.
When preparing the complete culture medium, it is necessary to add it to the basic culture medium10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).
2. Cultivation environment
-
Gas atmosphereAir (95%)+Carbon Dioxide (CO ₂, 5%)
-
temperature:37.0°C
3. Subculture
operating steps:
-
Remove and discard the old culture medium.
-
Wash the cell layer briefly with 0.25% (w/v) trypsin 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove serum residues containing trypsin inhibitors.
-
Add 2.0-3.0 ml trypsin EDTA solution to the culture bottle and observe under an inverted microscope until the cell layer is dispersed (usually taking 5-15 minutes).
Caution: Avoid shaking or tapping the culture bottle to prevent cell clumping. Cells that are difficult to disperse can be placed in a 37 ° C incubator to accelerate dissociation.
-
Add 6.0-8.0 ml of complete growth medium and gently blow the cells to terminate trypsin digestion.
-
Transfer the cell suspension into a new culture container (such as a culture bottle or dish).
-
Cultivate in a 37 ° C, 5% CO ₂ incubator.
Passage ratioRecommend a ratio of 1:2 to 1:8 (i.e. dividing 1 cell suspension into 2-8 new containers).
Frequency of medium replacementChange the fresh complete culture medium every 3-4 days.
4. Preservation
-
cryopreservation solutionComplete growth medium (95%)+dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, 5%).
-
Storage temperatureLiquid nitrogen vapor phase.

Comments: The human diploid fibroblast strain IMR-90 was derived by W.W. Nichols and associates from the lungs of a 16-week female fetus. [22381]
The division potential, viral susceptibilities and other properties have been thoroughly studied such that the line may be considered as an alternate for WI-38 and other standard human lung cell strains.
The cells have been reported to be capable of attaining 58 population doublings before the onset of senescence. [22381]
Propagation: ATCC complete growth medium: The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium, Catalog No. 30-2003. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5%
Temperature: 37.0°C
Subculturing: Protocol:
Remove and discard culture medium.
Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin- 0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor.
Add 2.0 to 3.0 ml of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes).
Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal.
Add 6.0 to 8.0 ml of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.
Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
Incubate cultures at 37°C.
Subc*tion Ratio: A subc*tion ratio of 1:2 to 1:8 is recommended
Medium Renewal: Every 3 to 4 days
Preservation: Freeze medium: Complete growth medium 95%; DMSO, 5%
