Cryopreservation |
- Harvest cells from several cultures in very late logarithmic to early stationary phase of growth. Vigorously agitate to suspend the cells.
- Aseptically transfer the cell suspension to 15 ml plastic centrifuge tubes.
- Centrifuge at ~800 x g for 5 min.
- While cells are centrifuging, prepare a 10% solution of DMSO in complete ATCC Medium 1029. Cool on ice.
- Remove the supernatant and pool the cell pellets to the final volume desired with fresh growth medium.
- Combine the cell suspension with an equal volume of 10% DMSO cryoprotectant solution (prepared in step 4) to yield a final concentration of 5% DMSO.
- Dispense in 0.5 ml aliquots to 1.0-2.0 ml Nunc vials (special plastic vials for cryopreservation).
- Place the vials in a controlled rate freezing unit. From room temperature cool at -1°C/min to -40°C. At -40°C, plunge ampules into liquid nitrogen. Alternatively, place the vials in a Nalgene 1°C freezing apparatus. Place the apparatus at -80°C for 1.5 to 2 hours and then plunge ampules into liquid nitrogen. (The cooling rate in this apparatus is approximately -1°C/min.).
- Store ampules in a liquid nitrogen refrigerator until needed.
- To establish a culture from the frozen state, place a frozen ampule in a 35°C water bath just enough to cover the frozen material. Allow the ampule to thaw completely (2-3 min).
- Immediately after thawing, aseptically remove the contents and transfer to a T-25 tissue culture flask containing 10 ml of fresh complete ATCC medium 1029.
- Screw the cap on tightly and incubate at 20-25°C. Observe the culture daily and transfer when numerous trophozoites are observed.
