Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
Disease transitional cell carcinoma
Age 80 years
Gender female
Ethnicity Caucasian
Applications The SW 780 line was established in 1974 by A. Leibovitz from a grade I transitional cell carcinoma.
Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Derivation The SW 780 line was established in 1974 by A. Leibovitz from a grade I transitional cell carcinoma.
Clinical Data 80 years Caucasian female
Tumorigenic Yes
Effects Yes, forms tumors in nude mice
Comments The patient had preoperative chemotherapy (Thiotepa). The cells have a reported plating efficiency of 41%.
Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Leibovitz's L-15 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2008. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.

(Note: The L-15 medium formulation was devised for use in a free gas exchange with atmospheric air. A CO2 and air mixture is detrimental to cells when using this medium for cultivation)

Subculturing Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flask; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.
  1. Remove and discard culture medium.
  2. Briefly rinse the cell layer with 0.25% (w/v) Trypsin-0.53 mM EDTA solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor.
  3. Add 2.0 to 3.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 5 to 15 minutes). Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal.
  4. Add 6.0 to 8.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting.
  5. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
  6. Incubate cultures at 37°C
Subculture Ratio: 1:4 to 1:8 Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times a week. Note: For more information on enzymatic dissociation and subculturing of cell lines consult Chapter 10 in Culture of Animal Cells, a manual of Basic Technique by R. Ian Freshney, 3rd edition, published by Alan R. Liss, N.Y., 1994.

Culture Conditions Temperature: 37°C Atmosphere: air, 100%
Population Doubling Time 38 hrs
Name of Depositor W McCombs
Year of Origin 1974
