| Applications |
This cell line is a suitable transfection host. It is ideal for the isolation and study of KSHV. |
| Disclosure |
This material is cited in a US or other Patent and may not be used to
infringe the claims. Depending on the wishes of the Depositor, ATCC may be
required to inform the Patent Depositor of the party to which the material was
furnished. This material may not have been produced or characterized by ATCC. |
| Derivation |
The cells were established from pleural effusion from a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) negative patient diagnosed with primary effusion (body cavity based) lymphoma (PEL). BC-3 is a primary effusion lymphoma cell line originated in 1995 by Leandros Arvanitakis and Ethel Cesarman. |

| Comments |
The BC-3 cell line contains the viral genome for Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV, provisionally designated HHV-8).
KSHV is a recently identified and partially uncharacterized virus.
BC-3 cells are negative for both HIV and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
They are also reported to be negative for herpes simplex virus 1 & 2 (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and cytomegalovirus (CMV).
The BC-3 cell line allows in vitro culture of KSHV viral genomes in the absence of EBV.
BC-3 has an intact KSHV genome of about 170 kb both in the cell line and in the viral isolate.
The cells do not express B-cell lineage restricted antigens or kappa or lambda immunoglobulin light chains or T-cell lineage-restricted antigens.
The cells do express activation antigens. |
| Complete Growth Medium |
RPMI 1640 medium, 80%; fetal bovine serum, 20%
|
| Subculturing |
Cultures can be maintained by the addition of fresh medium or replacement of medium. Alternatively, cultures can be established by centrifugation with subsequent resuspension at 5 x 105 viable cells/mL. Maintain cell density between 5 x 105 and 2 x 106 viable cells/mL.
Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times a week. |
| Cryopreservation |
Culture medium, 95%; DMSO, 5% |
