Description
The FS-Balb cell line (Cytion catalog number 400272) is a valuable research tool classified under biosafety level 1. It originates from a mouse model of fibrosarcoma, specifically derived from the BALB/c strain of mice, a widely used inbred strain known for its genetic stability and well-documented characteristics. Fibrosarcoma is a malignancy characterized by the proliferation of fibroblasts, and FS-Balb serves as a representative cell line for studying this disease. These cells exhibit an adherent growth pattern and are cultured in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2.1 mM stable glutamine, and 2.0 g/L NaHCO3. To maintain FS-Balb cells, Accutase is employed for trypsin-free dissociation. This cell line is essential for various applications, including the investigation of fibrosarcoma pathogenesis, the development of therapeutic interventions, and the exploration of molecular mechanisms underlying tumor growth and progression
