MDCK cell line (Sigma Catalogue number. 84121903) adapted to grow in the protein-free medium ′MDCK Protein-free Medium′ (Sigma M3678). Stirred culture is recommended, cells grow in suspended clumps.
Preparation Note
MDCK Protein-free medium (Sigma M3678) + 3.3mM Glutamine. When freezing cells down use Cell Freezing Medium (Sigma C2639) + 10% DMSO or use 50:50 fresh culture medium:conditioned medium plus 10% DMSO.
Viability may be poor on resuscitation and may initially decrease further. Full recovery may take up to 2 weeks. A centrifugation step to remove the cryoprotectant is essential. Rapidly thaw the frozen ampoule in a water bath at 37°C for 1-2 minutes. Tran
