growth_protocol
All murine osteosarcoma cell lines were maintained in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 15% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% L-glutamine, 1% nonessential amino acids, 50 M 2-metacaptoethanol, 100 IU/mL penicillin, and 100 g/mL streptomycin. Vero cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA) and cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 IU/mL penicillin, and 100 g/mL streptomycin. K7M2 tumors were established by transplanting small pieces of sectioned tumor (~2mm3) into the flanks of 6-week-old Balb/C mice (Envigo).
