Organism Mus musculus, mouse
Tissue lymph node
Cell Type helper T lymphocyte (Th-2)
Product Format frozen
Morphology lymphoblast
Culture Properties suspension
Biosafety Level 1

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.

Age adult
Gender male
Strain AKR/J
Applications D10.G4.1 has been used extensively to study activation of T cells. These cells can also be used as a reliable and sensitive assay for IL-1 (interleukin-1) response, since D10 cells will proliferate only minimally to con A in the absence of IL-1 or feeder cells.
Storage Conditions liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Clinical Data male
Antigen Expression H-2k
Receptor Expression

interleukin 1 (IL-1), expressed; interleukin 1 (IL-1)

Genes Expressed interleukin 4 (interleukin-4, IL-4); interleukin 5 (interleukin-5, IL-5)
Cellular Products interleukin 4 (interleukin-4, IL-4); interleukin 5 (interleukin-5, IL-5)
Comments The cells are specific for egg white conalbumin (Sigma No. C0755) and alloreactive to I-A b, v. Supernatant media from Con A stimulated D10.G4.1 cells contains IL-4 and IL-5. Tested and found negative for ectromelia virus (mousepox).
Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium:
  • 10% T-STIM with Con A (rat IL-2 culture supplement ) Becton Dickinson, Catalog No. 354115)
  • 10% fetal bovine serum
  • 0.05 mM 2-mercaptoethanol
  • 10 pg/ml mouse IL-1 alpha (R&D Systems, Catalog No. 400ML)
Subculturing Subculture actively growing suspension cultures before they have reached 1 X 106 cells/mL or the IL-1 and IL-2 will be rapidly depleted and the cells will lose viability. Use inoculation densities of 2 X 105 viable cells/mL. Medium Renewal: Twice per week
Cryopreservation Freeze medium: Complete growth medium supplemented with an additional 10% FBS and 5% (v/v) DMSO. Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: air, 95%; carbon dioxide (CO2), 5% Temperature: 37°C
