Recommendations:
- Recommended culture vessel coating: Type I Collagen
- Recommended cell culture medium: Axol Intra-Hepatic Biliary Epithelial Cell Culture Medium
- Recommended seeding density: 5,000 viable cells/cm2
- Recommended centrifugation speed: 250 x g for 5 min
Always count the number of viable cells after thawing
Thawing & Plating:
- Thaw the cells quickly in a 37°C water bath until just prior to complete thawing
- Wipe the outside of the vial with 70% ethanol
- Gently resuspend the cells and transfer to a 15 mL sterile conical tube
- Slowly add 10 mL of pre-warmed Intra-Hepatic Biliary Epithelial Cell Culture Medium
- Rinse the cryovial with 1 mL of Intra-Hepatic Biliary Epithelial Cell Culture Medium to ensure all of the cells are transferred
- Centrifuge the cells at 250 x g at room temperature for 5 min
- Carefully remove the supernatant and resuspend in 1-2 mL of pre-warmed Intra-Hepatic
- Biliary Epithelial Cell Culture Medium and perform a cell count
- Dilute the cells into the required volume of pre-warmed Intra-Hepatic Biliary Epithelial Cell Culture Medium
Coat the culture vessels with Type I Collagen or use pre-coated culture vessels
Passaging:
- Passage when the culture reaches: 80% confluent
- Recommended passaging reagent: Trypsin-EDTA
- Neutralize the trypsin with pre-warmed Pericyte Growth Medium and centrifuge the cells at 220 x g for 5 min
- Remove the supernatant and resuspend in 1-2 mL of pre-warmed Pericyte Growth Medium
- Perform a cell count to determine the number of viable cells
- Dilute the cells into the required volume of pre-warmed Pericyte Growth Medium
- Seed cells into the culture vessel at the recommended seeding density
- Human Intra-Hepatic Biliary Epithelial Cell Protocol
- Seed cells into the culture vessel (coated with type I collagen) at the recommended seeding density
- After 24 h, replace the culture medium with fresh, pre-warmed Intra-Hepatic Biliary Epithelial Cell Culture Medium
- Frequency of media changes: Every 2 days
We recommend using the human pericytes for endpoint assays prior to passage 4
