| Keywords: | Human B lymphocyte |
| Cell Line Description: | RPMI 8866 has been established from the peripheral blood of a 51-year-old American woman with chronic myelogenous leukaemia in May 1966. The B lymphoid cell line expresses a relatively high amount of calcitonin receptors, membrane bound Ig and soluble IgE-binding factor (Fc epsilon RII/CD23). |

Unless specified otherwise, at the European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC) we routinely handle all of our cell lines at containment level 2 in accordance with the ACDP guidelines. ACDP = Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens (UK) All cell cultures have the potential to carry as yet unidentified adventitious agents. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country. ACDP Guidance: Biological agents: Managing the risks in laboratories and healthcare premises.

| Subculture Routine: | To keep the cells in exponential growth maintain cultures between 3-9x100,000 cells/ml; 5% CO2; 37°C. If starting from a frozen ampoule, add thawed cells to a conical based centrifuge tube e.g. 15ml tube. Slowly add 4 ml of culture medium to the tube. Take a sample of the cell suspension, e.g. 200ul, to count cells. Centrifuge the cell suspension at low speed i.e. 100 - 150 x g for a maximum of 5 minutes. Remove medium and re-suspend the cell pellet at a density of 3 - 5 x 100,000 cells/ml in fresh medium containing 10% serum. Incubate flask at 37 C; 5 - 7% CO2. Check daily. Keep flask in a vertical position until the cells reach the exponential phase of growth, this can take up to 7 days. |
| Culture Medium: | RPMI 1640 + 2mM Glutamine + 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS). |

The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.
Cultures supplied by Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line. Please view the Terms & Conditions of Supply for more information.
