Propagation:

Cells are grown on Millicell Cell Culture Insert, 12 mm, hydrophilic PTFE, 0.4 µm (Millipore) that are lightly coated with a 20% dispersion of rat-tail collagen (in 60% ethanol) plus 1 µg/mL laminin.
The base medium for this cell line is Prigrow IV medium available at abm. to a final concentration of 5%, HEPES (Sigma) to a final concentration of 15 mM, sodium selenite (Sigma) to a final concentration of 20 nM, ascorbic acid-2-phosphate (Sigma) to a final concentration of 50 mM, transferrin (Sigma) to a final concentration of 5 µg/mL, Insulin Solution to a final concentration of 5 µg/mL, mouse EGF (Sigma) to a final concentration of 10 ng/mL, dexamethasone to a final concentration of 4 µg/mL, T3 (Sigma) to a final concentration of 1 nM, and Penicillin/Streptomycin Solution to a final concentration of 1%.
Change media every 2-3 days by first removing it from the bottom of the filter and then from the top. Add fresh medium first to the top and then to the bottom.
Carbon dioxide (CO₂): 5%, Temperature: 33.0°C. To differentiate cells, increase temperature to 38.0°C.
Do not use heat-inactivated FBS for cell culture unless specified otherwise.
