Human Colon Tumor-Associated Smooth Muscle Cells from Cell Biologics are isolated from human colon tumor tissue. Cells are grown in T25 tissue culture flasks pre-coated with gelatin-based coating solution for 2 min and incubated in Cell Biologics Culture Complete Growth Medium generally for 3-7 days. Prior to shipping, cells at passage 1 are detached from the culture flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Each vial contains 0.5x106 cells per ml and is delivered frozen. Cells are characterized by immunofluorescent method with antibodies to ?-smooth muscle actin. Cells are negative for bacteria, yeast, fungi, and mycoplasma. Cells can be expanded on a multiwell culture plate ready for experiments (or cells may be expanded for 2-5 passages at a split ratio of 1:2) under the cell culture conditions specified by Cell Biologics. Repeated freezing and thawing of cells is not recommended.

Application
Human Colon Tumor-Associated Smooth Muscle Cells can be used in assays of standard biochemical procedures performed with cell cultures include RT-PCR, Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescent flow cytometry, or generating cell derivatives for desired research applications.
Disclaimer
Investigators should handle the cells that they receive from Cell Biologics with caution and treat all animal cells as potential pathogens, since no test procedure can completely guarantee the absence of infectious agents.
