Description	IMR-32 is a human neuroblastoma cell line derived from the adrenal medulla of a child diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a malignant tumor originating from neural crest cells. These cells exhibit characteristics of immature neuronal cells, making them a valuable model for studying neuronal differentiation, neuroblastoma pathogenesis, and the molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental processes. The IMR-32 cells have a high capacity for proliferation and retain the ability to synthesize catecholamines, particularly dopamine and norepinephrine, which are essential neurotransmitters in the nervous system. IMR-32 cells display a diploid karyotype with specific chromosomal aberrations commonly associated with neuroblastoma, such as amplification of the MYCN oncogene. This feature makes them particularly useful for research into the genetic and molecular drivers of neuroblastoma, including MYCN's role in tumorigenesis and progression. Additionally, IMR-32 cells are employed in drug screening assays to evaluate the efficacy and cytotoxicity of potential therapeutic agents targeting neuroblastoma. However, it is crucial to note that these cells are intended solely for in vitro research purposes and are not suitable for any therapeutic or in vivo applications.

Milieu de culture	EMEM (MEM Eagle), w: 2 mM L-Glutamine, w: 2.2 g/L NaHCO3, w: EBSS (Cytion article number 820100a)
Suppléments	Supplement the medium with 10% FBS and 1% NEAA
Réactif de dissociation	Accutase
Repiquage	Remove the old medium from the adherent cells and wash them with PBS that lacks calcium and magnesium. For T25 flasks, use 3-5 ml of PBS, and for T75 flasks, use 5-10 ml. Then, cover the cells completely with Accutase, using 1-2 ml for T25 flasks and 2.5 ml for T75 flasks. Let the cells incubate at room temperature for 8-10 minutes to detach them. After incubation, gently mix the cells with 10 ml of medium to resuspend them, then centrifuge at 300xg for 3 minutes. Discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells in fresh medium, and transfer them into new flasks that already contain fresh medium.
Densité de semis	1 x 10⁴ cells/cm²
Renouvellement des fluides	Every 3 to 5 days
Rétablissement après le dégel	After thawing, plate the cells at 5 x 10⁴ cells/cm² and allow the cells to recover from the freezing process and to adhere for at least 24 hours.
Milieu de congélation	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.
Décongélation et culture des cellules	Confirm that the vial remains deeply frozen upon delivery, as cells are shipped on dry ice to maintain optimal temperatures during transit. Upon receipt, either store the cryovial immediately at temperatures below -150°C to ensure the preservation of cellular integrity, or proceed to step 3 if immediate culturing is required. For immediate culturing, swiftly thaw the vial by immersing it in a 37°C water bath with clean water and an antimicrobial agent, agitating gently for 40-60 seconds until a small ice clump remains. Perform all subsequent steps under sterile conditions in a flow hood, disinfecting the cryovial with 70% ethanol before opening. Carefully open the disinfected vial and transfer the cell suspension into a 15 ml centrifuge tube containing 8 ml of room-temperature culture medium, mixing gently. Centrifuge the mixture at 300 x g for 3 minutes to separate the cells and carefully discard the supernatant containing residual freezing medium. Gently resuspend the cell pellet in 10 ml of fresh culture medium. For adherent cells, divide the suspension between two T25 culture flasks; for suspension cultures, transfer all the medium into one T25 flask to promote effective cell interaction and growth. Adhere to established subculture protocols for continued growth and maintenance of the cell line, ensuring reliable experimental outcomes.
Atmosphère d'incubation	37°C, 5% CO₂, humidified atmosphere.
Conditions d'expédition	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.
Conditions d'entreposage	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.

Stérilité	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.
