Comments:BC-2 is a lymphoma cell line originated in 1992 by Ethel Cesarman and Giorgio Inghirami in the laboratory of Daniel M. Knowles.
The cells were derived from a pleural cavity based lymphomatous effusion.
The cells contain two viral genomes: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and Kaposi sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV, provisionally designed HHV-8).
KSHV is a recently identified and largely uncharacterized virus.
The BC-2 cell line allows in vitro culture of KSHV viral genomes.
It is also a practical source of KSHV DNA to be used as a positive control for screening tests.
Propagation: ATCC complete growth medium: RPMI 1640 medium, 80%; fetal bovine serum, 20%
Subculturing: Medium Renewal: Every 2 to 3 days
Cultures can be maintained by addition or replacement of fresh medium. Start cultures at 5 X 10 exp5 cells/ml and maintain between 5 X 10 exp5 and 2 X 10 exp6 cells/ml.
Preservation: Culture medium, 95%; DMSO, 5%
Doubling Time: 48 to 72 hrs
