The YU-1 cells are grown in a modified Gamborgʼs B5 (mB5) medium supplemented with 0.54 mg/L 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) and 0.2 mg/L kinetin, pH 5.7. Our YU-1 cell culture has been maintained in the dark at 27°C with rotary shaking at 100 rpm and subcultured at 7-day intervals.

Adjust the pH of the solution to 5.7 with KOH (1 N), and fill up to 1 L with distilled water. #. Pour 30 mL of the medium into a 100-mL flask. #. Autoclave the flask at 121°C for 20 min. Methods ======== #. Agitate a 7-day-old culture well and transfer 2.6--4 mL of cell suspension to 30 mL of fresh mB5 medium with a pipette. #. Incubate cell cultures on a rotary shaker at 100 rpm under the dark condition at 27°C. Notes ====== * For domestic customers: We send YU-1 cell suspension in a 50-mL disposable conical centrifuge tube. The cells should be transferred to fresh mB5 medium immediately after arrival. * For overseas customers: We send YU-1 cells placed on semi-solid mB5 medium in a 250-mL disposable Erlenmeyer flask. The cells should be transferred to fresh mB5 medium immediately after arrival. Collect the cells from the semi-solid medium with a spatula and transfer them to Erlenmeyer flasks containing fresh liquid medium. * In order to maintain YU-1 cell suspension cultures stably, it is essential to transfer an adequate amount of cells to fresh mB5 medium in every subculture. The amount of cells may vary from one lab to another, because proliferation of YU-1 cells is affected by culture conditions, such as a room temperature, rotation speed of a rotary shaker, and aeration condition of the culture. * In order to obtain good aeration of a suspension culture, a silicone sponge plug may be used instead of the aluminum foil cap (*e.g.*, `cap-type Silicosen `_\ ; Shin-Etsu Polymer, Tokyo, Japan).
