Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-WBLT) cells growing in McCoy's 5a with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) were adapted to 0.5% FBS in CHO-1 Complete Media System, a serum-free medium from Ventrex. Cells in these two media were exposed to 10(-7) M and 10(-8) M mitomycin C (MMC) for 24 h. Comparison of cell growth over 10 days showed that cells in 0.5% serum proliferate, though at a slower rate than cells in 10% serum. Treatment with MMC revealed that at 10(-7) M, MMC is cytotoxic to cells to both the media; at 10(-8) M, MMC is non-cytotoxic to cells in both media.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D002455 Cell Division The fission of a CELL. It includes CYTOKINESIS, when the CYTOPLASM of a cell is divided, and CELL NUCLEUS DIVISION. M Phase,Cell Division Phase,Cell Divisions,Division Phase, Cell,Division, Cell,Divisions, Cell,M Phases,Phase, Cell Division,Phase, M,Phases, M
D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D006224 Cricetinae A subfamily in the family MURIDAE, comprising the hamsters. Four of the more common genera are Cricetus, CRICETULUS; MESOCRICETUS; and PHODOPUS. Cricetus,Hamsters,Hamster
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D016466 CHO Cells CELL LINE derived from the ovary of the Chinese hamster, Cricetulus griseus (CRICETULUS). The species is a favorite for cytogenetic studies because of its small chromosome number. The cell line has provided model systems for the study of genetic alterations in cultured mammalian cells. CHO Cell,Cell, CHO,Cells, CHO
