| Derivation | The Jurkat cell line was established from the peripheral blood of a 14 year old boy by Schneider et al., and was originally designated JM. The line was cloned from cells obtained from Dr. Kendall Smith and are mycoplasma free. This is a clone of the Jurkat-FHCRC cell line, a derivative of the Jurkat cell line. |
| Clinical Data | male The Jurkat cell line was established from the peripheral blood of a 14 year old boy by Schneider et al. |
| Antigen Expression | CD3; Homo sapiens, expressed |
| Receptor Expression |
Receptor expression: T cell antigen receptor, expressed |
| Genes Expressed | interleukin-2 (interleukin 2, IL-2),CD3; Homo sapiens, expressed |
| Comments | Clone E6-1 cells produce large amounts of IL-2 after stimulation with phorbol esters and either lectins or monoclonal antibodies against the T3 antigen (both types of stimulants are needed to induce IL-2 production. |
| Complete Growth Medium | The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, ATCC 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum (ATCC 30-2020) to a final concentration of 10%. |
|---|---|
| Subculturing | Cultures can be maintained by the addition of fresh medium or replacement of medium. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation with subsequent resuspension at 1 x 105 viable cells/mL. Do not allow the cell density to exceed 3 X 106 cells/mL. Corning® T-75 flasks (catalog #431464) are recommended for subculturing this product. Interval: Maintain cultures at a cell concentraion between between 1 x 105 and 1 X 106 viable cells/mL. Medium Renewal: Add fresh medium every 2 to 3 days (depending on cell density) |
| Cryopreservation | Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase |
| Culture Conditions | Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5% Temperature: 37°C |
