Guidelines for cultivation and preservation of the serum-free cell line McCoy-Plovdiv.

In this paper, we offer detailed information concerning manipulations with the novel serum-free cell line McCoy-Plovdiv. Guidelines for procedures as trypsinization of the monolayer, subculturing, as well as freezing and thawing conditions are proposed. Our results give us grounds to assume that this is a cell line entirely serum-independent at any step of the process of culturing and preservation.
