An improved basal medium for Y-1 mouse adrenal cortex tumor cells in culture. 2. Stability of steroidogenic pathway and chromosome number.
Y-1 cells were passaged weekly for 6 wk in MACT IV medium without a period of adaptation to this basal medium that requires 1% dialyzed fetal bovine serum as a supplement. The steroid pathway and chromosome number, reported earlier for this cell line under culture conditions that used much higher concentrations of nondialyzed sera, remained stable despite dialysis and reduction of the fetal bovine serum to 1%.
