Organism Mus musculus, mouse
Tissue spleen
Cell Type IL-2 dependent T lymphocyte
Product Format frozen
Morphology lymphoblast
Culture Properties suspension
Biosafety Level 1

Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.

Strain BALB/c
Applications

The line is dependent on IL-2 for growth and can be used to measure IL-2 activity in a very rapid and sensitive assay.

The cells are commonly used for characterization of lymphokines and cytokines.

Derivation The HT-2 cell line was derived in 1979 by J. Watson at the University of Auckland from a culture of BALB/c spleen cells activated by sheep erythrocytes in the presence of IL-2.
Antigen Expression Thy-1
Receptor Expression interleukin 2 (IL-2)
Comments The A5E clone was selected to provide a homogeneous population that is highly sensitive to IL-2.

In addition to IL-2, substantial proliferation is seen in the presence of interleukin 4 (interleukin-4, IL-4, also known as BSF-1).

Complete Growth Medium The complete medium for culturing CRL-1841 is composed of: 399.5 mL RPMI-1640 (ATCC 30-2001) 50 mL FBS (ATCC 30-2020) 0.5 mL 2-Mercaptoethanol (Gibco 21985-023) 50 mL Rat T-STIM with Con A (Thermo Fisher CB-40115)
Subculturing Cultures can be maintained by addition or replacement of fresh medium. Subcuture every two days at 3.5 x 10 4 viable cells/mL. Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Cryopreservation Freeze medium: complete growth medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
Culture Conditions Temperature: 37°C
Name of Depositor JF Weaver, A Creasey
