Abstract

Optimization of cell culture protocol for a given cell line is critical for the proper conduct of in vitro experiments. Because germ cell tumors can be so heterogeneous, optimal culture conditions can vary widely between cell lines. Here, we describe our experience in routine culture and cryopreservation of germ cell tumor cell culture. Additionally, methods for measuring cell viability and proliferation validated on these lines are provided.
