The human embryo kidney cell line 293 (Sigma Catalogue number. 85120602) adapted to grow in the animal component free medium Gene Therapy Medium 3 (Sigma G9916). This cell line grows in clumps in suspension. The original 293 cell line from which this cell line was derived was transformed with sheared human Ad5 DNA.
Preparation Note
Gene Therapy Medium 3 (Sigma G9916) + 2mM Glutamine. When freezing cells down use 50:50 fresh culture medium:conditioned medium plus 10% DMSO.
