MP Biomedicals™ McCoy 5A Medium, Iwakata and Grace Modification with L-Glutamine

Ideal for leukocytes, biopsy tissues, a broad range of human and rat normal and transformed cell types, and demanding primary and continuous cell lines

McCoy's media were originally formulated for the growth and support of human lymphocytes. The 5A modification originated as a reformulation of McCoy's by Hsu and Kellogg. It was then further modified by Iwakata and Grace featuring increased levels of i-inositol and glucose. This final modification produced a media identical to RPMI 1629. McCoy's 5A media supports the indefinite proliferation of Walker 256 carcinoma cells.
