Epstein Bar virus (EBV) transformed lymphoblastoid cell line from the peripheral lymphocytes of a female Gorilla.

Gorilla peripheral lymphoblast

RPMI 1640 (R0883)+ 2 mM L-Glutamine (G7513) + 15% FBS / FCS (F2442).

Maintain cultures between 3-9x100,000 cells/ml; do not over dilute; 5% CO₂; 37 °C. Cells show typical lymphoblast morphology, i.e., they grow in large spheroid clumps as well as single cells in suspension.

Cultures from HPA Culture Collections and supplied by Sigma are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line.
