Mouse Colon Tumor-Associated Smooth Muscle Cells were isolated from pathogen-free laboratory nude mice. Cells were isolated from xenograft of pathogen-free laboratory nude mice. Mouse Colon adenocarcinoma epithelial cells (HCT116) were subcutaneously injected into the nude mice for 4-6 weeks and the tumor tissues were then harvested for cell culture. Cells were cultured in a T25 tissue culture flask pre-coated with gelatin-based coating solution for 2 min and incubated in Cell Biologics Culture Complete Growth Medium generally for 7-14 days. Cells were detached from flasks and immediately cryo-preserved in vials. Cells will be delivered in a frozen vial and each vial contains 1x106 cells/ml.

Application
Mouse 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.

General Information
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 2-4 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.
