NIH3T3/GFP Cell Line
NIH3T3/GFP Cell Line
Synonyms
NIH3T3/GFP; NIH3T3/GFP Cell Line; NIH3T3/GFP cell line
Concentration
1 mL, 1 x 106 cells/mL in 70% DMEM, 20% FBS, 10% DMSO (varies by lot)
Quality Control
This cryovial contains at least 1.0 × 106 NIH3T3/GFP cells as determined by morphology, trypan-blue dye exclusion, and viable cell count. The NIH3T3/GFP cells are tested free of microbial contamination.
Medium
1. Culture Medium: D-MEM (high glucose), 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 0.1 mM MEM Non-Essential Amino Acids (NEAA), 2 mM L-glutamine, 1% Pen-Strep, (optional) 10 ug/mL Blasticidin.
2. Freeze Medium: 70% DMEM, 20% FBS, 10% DMSO.
2. Freeze Medium: 70% DMEM, 20% FBS, 10% DMSO.
Methods
Establishing NIH3T3/GFP Cultures from Frozen Cells
1. Place 10 mL of complete DMEM growth medium in a 50-mL conical tube. Thaw the frozen cryovial of cells within 1-2 minutes by gentle agitation in a 37°C water bath. Decontaminate the cryovial by wiping the surface of the vial with 70% (v/v) ethanol.
2. Transfer the thawed cell suspension to the conical tube containing 10 ml of growth medium.
3. Collect the cells by centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature. Remove the growth medium by aspiration.
4. Resuspend the cells in the conical tube in 15 mL of fresh growth medium by gently pipetting up and down.
5. Transfer the 15 mL of cell suspension to a T-75 tissue culture flask. Place the cells in a 37°C incubator at 5% CO2.
6. Monitor cell density daily. Cells should be passaged when the culture reaches 95% confluence.

Related Product Information for NIH3T3/GFP cell line
Background: NIH 3T3 cells are established from a NIH Swiss mouse embryo. These cells are highly contact inhibited and are sensitive to sarcoma virus focus formation and leukaemia virus propagation. Cells have now lost their contact inhibition. The established NIH/3T3 line was subjected to more than 5 serial cycles of subcloning in order to develop a subclone with morphologic characteristics best suited for transformation assays. The “3T3” designation refers to the abbreviation of "3-day transfer, inoculum 3 x 105 cells." The NIH3T3 cell line is one of the most commonly used fibroblast cell lines. Our NIH3T3/GFP cell line stably expresses GFP and blasticidin-resistant genes. Both GFP and blasticidin-resistant genes are introduced into parental NIH3T3 cells using lentivirus.

Product Notes
The NIH3T3/GFP (Catalog #AAA168783) is a Cell Line and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "NIH3T3/GFP, Cell Line" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
