title: Establishment of mouse neuroblastoma clone N18, rat glioma clone C6, and rat striated muscle clone L6 in serum-free, chemically defined medium.
abstract: Mouse neuroblastoma clone N18, rat glioma clone C6, and rat striated muscle clone L6 were grown in a serum-free Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium. Their doubling times were 48 hours, 40 hours, and 4 days, respectively. Morphologic features were similar to the original parent cell lines. Membrane components of N18 and C6 grown in serum-free medium were compared with the original parent cell lines. Defects of several membrane proteins were found with sodium dodecyl sulfate--polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
