Products are shipped frozen on dry ice in cryotubes. Each cryotube typically contains 3 × 106 cells for adherent lines or 5 × 106 cells for suspension lines (refer to the batch CoA for details).
General information
| Description | The EB1 cell line is a human-derived cell line established from biopsy fragments and cell clumps of Burkitt lymphoma. This line was originally cultivated in Eagle's basal medium supplemented with 10% human serum. The unique growth conditions facilitated the development of cells that predominantly grew as free-floating single individuals or doublets. The EB1 cells exhibit a characteristic doubling time of approximately 48 hours, highlighting their rapid proliferation rate, which is a hallmark feature of lymphoblasts. Morphologically, the EB1 cells display uniform altered lymphoblast characteristics, indicating their derivation from lymphoid tissue. The cell line has been utilized extensively in the study of Burkitt's lymphoma, providing insights into the pathology of lymphoid malignancies. It serves as a valuable model for researching the biological behavior of lymphoid cells under various experimental conditions, aiding in the exploration of therapeutic targets and the understanding of lymphoma progression. |

| Karyotype | Chromosome Frequency Distribution 30 cells: 2n = 46. The cell line is aneuploid human female, with chromosome counts in the near dipoidrange. Normal chromosomes N8, N11 and N14 are monosomic, with the remainder of autosomes usually being paired. The x chromosome most often is trisomic. Four marker chromosomes are found. Two of these (markers M1 and M3) involve the reciprocal translocation between chromosomes N8 and N14 associated with most Burkitt's lymphoma cell lines. |
Handling
| Culture Medium | RPMI 1640, w: 2.0 mM stable Glutamine, w: 2.0 g/L NaHCO3 (Cytion article number 820700a) |
|---|---|
| Supplements | Supplement the medium with 10% heat-inactivated FBS |
| Doubling time | 48 hours |
| Subculturing | The cells should be subcultured by transferring part of the suspension into fresh new cell culture flasks prefilled with fresh medium. Alternatively, the clusters may be collected by centrifugation and resuspended in fresh medium. |
| Seeding density | 0.1 x 106 cells/ml |
| Fluid renewal | 2 to 3 times per week |
| Post-Thaw Recovery | After thawing, allow the cells to recover from the freezing process for at least 24 hours |
| Freeze medium | As a cryopreservation medium, we use complete growth medium (including FBS) + 10% DMSO for adequate post-thaw viability, or CM-1 (Cytion catalog number 800100), which includes optimized osmoprotectants and metabolic stabilizers to enhance recovery and reduce cryo-induced stress. |
| Thawing and Culturing Cells |
|
| Incubation Atmosphere | 37°C, 5% CO2, humidified atmosphere. |
| Shipping Conditions | Cryopreserved cell lines are shipped on dry ice in validated, insulated packaging with sufficient refrigerant to maintain approximately −78 °C throughout transit. On receipt, inspect the container immediately and transfer vials without delay to appropriate storage. |
| Storage Conditions | For long-term preservation, place vials in vapor-phase liquid nitrogen at about −150 to −196 °C. Storage at −80 °C is acceptable only as a short interim step before transfer to liquid nitrogen. |
Quality Control & Molecular Analysis
| Sterility | Mycoplasma contamination is excluded using both PCR-based assays and luminescence-based mycoplasma detection methods. To ensure there is no bacterial, fungal, or yeast contamination, cell cultures are subjected to daily visual inspections. |
