PubMed: 8168088 The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium, Catalog No. 30-2001. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: 0.2 Units/ml bovine insulin; fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%. Human insulin may also be used (Life Technologies, Catalog No. 12585-014).
