一般資訊
| 說明 | The NG108-15 cell line is a well-characterized neuroblastoma × glioma hybrid cell line derived by fusing the mouse neuroblastoma clone N18TG2 with the rat glioma clone C6-BU-1. This fusion results in a cell type that robustly expresses a range of neuron-like properties, making NG108-15 a widely used model for neurobiological and neuropharmacological research. The hybrid cells exhibit a high degree of electrical excitability and express neuronal enzymes such as choline acetyltransferase, enabling the synthesis, storage, and release of acetylcholine. These cells form extensive processes and are capable of generating action potentials in response to electrical or chemical stimulation. NG108-15 cells have been shown to form functional chemical synapses with muscle cells, including both primary mouse embryonic myotubes and clonal myotube lines such as G-8. In co-culture systems, NG108-15 cells can innervate myotubes, producing synaptic potentials in response to evoked action potentials. These responses are dependent on acetylcholine and can be blocked by d-tubocurarine, confirming the cholinergic nature of the synapses. Notably, the efficiency of synaptic transmission varies but remains physiologically meaningful, with a significant proportion of hybrid action potentials successfully inducing muscle depolarization. The postsynaptic responses are closely mimicked by iontophoretic application of acetylcholine, further supporting their cholinergic identity. NG108-15 cells are large, neuron-like cells with processes and a neuroblastoma-like morphology. They exhibit both mouse and rat karyotypic features and display hybrid isozyme patterns consistent with their mixed genetic background. These cells maintain neuron-like phenotypes even at higher passage numbers, although some properties, such as choline acetyltransferase activity, may decline over time. Overall, NG108-15 cells are considered a robust in vitro model for studying neuronal differentiation, neurotransmission, and synaptogenesis, particularly in the context of acetylcholine-mediated signaling. |

處理方式
| 培養基 | Medium: The base medium for this cell line is Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (GIBCO/InVitrogen Catalog No. 12100-061, DMEM without sodium pyruvate). To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium:
|
|---|---|
| 解離試劑 | Accutase |
| 播種密度 | 1 to 3 x 104 cells/cm2 |
| 流體更新 | 2 to 3 times per week |
| 冷凍培養基 | 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. |
| 細胞解凍與培養 |
|
| 培養環境 | 37°C, 5% CO2, humidified atmosphere. |
| 運送條款 | 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. |
| 儲存條件 | 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. |
品質控制與分子分析
| 不孕症 | 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. |
