Why passage cells?
To maintain cells in culture
(i.e. don’t overgrow)
To increase cell number for
experiments/storage

![Page 6: 6 how do we culture cells in the laboratory lecture 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58e754c61a28ab55108b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
1. View cultures using an inverted microscope to assess the
degree of confluency (70-90%) and confirm the absence
of bacterial and fungal contaminants.
2. Remove spent medium.
3. Wash the cell monolayer with PBS without Ca2+/Mg2+
using a volume equivalent to half the volume of culture
medium to remove dead cells and serum. (Repeat this wash step if the cells are known to adhere strongly).
Procedure
![Page 7: 6 how do we culture cells in the laboratory lecture 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58e754c61a28ab55108b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
4. Pipette trypsin/EDTA onto the washed cell monolayer for
digests protein-surface interaction to release cells
(collagenase also useful) using 1ml per 25cm2 of surface
area.
• Rotate flask to cover the monolayer with trypsin.
Procedure
![Page 8: 6 how do we culture cells in the laboratory lecture 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58e754c61a28ab55108b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
5. Return flask to the incubator and leave for 2-10 minutes
(depending on cell type).
6. Examine the cells using an inverted microscope to ensure
that all the cells are detached and floating.
The side of the flasks may be gently tapped to release any
remaining attached cells.
Procedure
![Page 9: 6 how do we culture cells in the laboratory lecture 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58e754c61a28ab55108b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
7. Resuspend the cells in a small volume of fresh serum-
containing medium to inactivate the trypsin. (Remove 100-200uL and perform a cell count).
8. Transfer the required number of cells to a new labeled
flask containing pre-warmed medium.(refer to Cell Line Data Sheet for the required seeding density).
• Most cell lines will adhere in approx. 3-4 hours
Procedure
![Page 10: 6 how do we culture cells in the laboratory lecture 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58e754c61a28ab55108b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why EDTA in trypsin?
EDTA enhances trypsin activity.
Actually trypsin/EDTA is a combined method for detaching cells.
Trypsin cuts the adhesion proteins in cell-cell and cell-matrix
interactions
EDTA is a calcium chelator, which integrins needs to interact with
other proteins for cell adhesion. no calcium = no cell adhesion.
EDTA: can decrease the clumping of cells.
![Page 11: 6 how do we culture cells in the laboratory lecture 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58e754c61a28ab55108b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Some cultures whilst growing as attached lines adhere only lightly
to the flask, thus it is important to handled the flask with care to
prevent the cells detaching prematurely.
• Although most cells will detach in the presence of trypsin alone the
EDTA is added to enhance the activity of the enzyme.
Key Points
![Page 12: 6 how do we culture cells in the laboratory lecture 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58e754c61a28ab55108b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Key Points
• Trypsin is inactivated in the presence of serum. Therefore, it is
essential to remove all traces of serum from the culture medium by
washing the monolayer of cells with PBS without Ca2+/Mg2.
• Cells should only be exposed to trypsin/EDTA long enough to
detach cells. Prolonged exposure could damage surface receptors.
• Trypsin should be neutralized with serum prior to seeding cells
into new flasks otherwise cells will not attach.
![Page 13: 6 how do we culture cells in the laboratory lecture 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58e754c61a28ab55108b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Trypsin may also be neutralized by the addition of soybean
trypsin inhibitor , where an equal volume of inhibitor at a
concentration of 1mg/ml is added to the trypsinised cells.
• The cells are then centrifuged, resuspended in fresh culture
medium and counted .
• This is especially necessary for serum-free cell culture.
Key Points
![Page 14: 6 how do we culture cells in the laboratory lecture 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58e754c61a28ab55108b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Confluency• Confluency referring to the proportion of the surface
which is covered by cells.
• For example, 50 percent confluence means roughly half of the surface is covered and there is still space for cells to grow.
• 100 percent confluence means the surface is completely covered by the cells, and no more space is left for the cells to grow as a monolayer.
![Page 15: 6 how do we culture cells in the laboratory lecture 6](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042907/58e754c61a28ab55108b4bbd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Cells are typically passaged before becoming fully
confluent in order to maintain their
proliferative phenotype.
• Cells to be kept in healthy & in growing state have to be
sub-cultured or passaged , It’s the passage of cells when
they reach to 75-90% confluency in flask/dishes/plates.
