Informações gerais
| Descrição | BGM (Buffalo Green Monkey) cells are a kidney epithelial cell line derived from the African green monkey, Cercopithecus aethiops. These cells are typically used in virological studies because of their susceptibility to various enteroviruses and other viral pathogens, making them a valuable tool in the study of viral infections and viral-host interactions. Their high permissiveness for viral replication is particularly useful for isolating and propagating enteroviruses, rotaviruses, and adenoviruses, among others. In addition to their use in virology, BGM cells are employed in cytotoxicity testing and vaccine production. They provide a consistent and controlled environment for testing the effects of new drugs and potential vaccines on cellular health and viability. BGM cells are also utilized in genetic studies, particularly in understanding gene expression and signaling pathways involved in viral infection and host response mechanisms. Their robust growth and ease of handling in laboratory settings further contribute to their widespread use in biological research. |

Manuseio
| Meio de cultura | EMEM (MEM Eagle), w: 2 mM L-Glutamine, w: 2.2 g/L NaHCO3, w: EBSS (Cytion article number 820100a) |
|---|---|
| Suplementos | Supplement the medium with 10% FBS and 1% NEAA |
| Reagente de dissociação | Accutase |
| Subcultura | 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. |
| Meio de congelamento | 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. |
| Descongelamento e cultura de células |
|
| Atmosfera de incubação | 37°C, 5% CO2, humidified atmosphere. |
| Condições de envio | 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. |
| Condições de armazenamento | 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. |
Controle de Qualidade e Análise Molecular
| Esterilidade | 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. |
