Cell Line Origin

Skin

Components

Rat Fibroblast Basal Medium that contains 10% FBS and 10% DMSO

General description

RDF from Cell Applications, Inc. have been used in allogenic prosthetic grafts, demonstrating improved epithelization, collagen organization and faster regeneration (Nomoto, 2012), in a cell sheet engineering study, where a sheet of dermal fibroblasts was transplanted into the damaged liver in allogeneic rat model to promote migration of hepatic progenitor cells and faster healing (Muraoka, 2013), and as a control in engineered cardiac tissues (Serrao, 2012).

Preparation Note

1st passage, >500,000 cells in Rat Fibroblast Basal Medium that contains 10% FBS and 10% DMSO Can be cultured at least 8 population doublings

Quality

Each lot was tested for proper morphology, Population Doublings, Negative for HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, mycoplasma, bacteria, and fungi.
