[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a cryopreservation medium necessary for preserving cultured animal cells in a frozen state for a long period of time, particularly a serum-free medium. [Prior Art] Generally, various properties of cultured animal cells tend to change during subculture. The changes appear in cell proliferation ability, substance production ability, chromosome number, etc. In order to avoid such changes in cell properties as much as possible and to repeatedly and reproducibly use cells that exhibit stable properties, the technology of storing cells in a frozen state for long periods of time is required for both academic research and commercial purposes. It is essential.
As a cell cryopreservation medium used for this purpose, a medium containing glycerin or dimethylsulfoxide (hereinafter referred to as DMSO) as a cryoprotective agent and serum is currently widely used. However, some cultured animal cells are cultured in media that do not contain serum at all.
In order to cryopreserve serum-free cultured cells, it is desired to develop a cryopreservation medium that does not contain serum. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a serum-free cryopreservation medium suitable for cryopreservation of serum-free cultured animal cells. [Means for Solving the Problems] The above object is achieved by a serum-free cryopreservation medium containing methylcellulose and dimethyl sulfoxide or glycerin as a cryoprotectant. The serum-free cryopreservation medium of the present invention contains the following components. (b) A culture medium that is used depending on the type of cultured animal cells, with serum removed. This is commonly referred to as a synthetic medium. For example, Eagle's minimum essential medium (hereinafter referred to as Eagle's minimum essential medium)
MEM medium), Ham's F-12 medium, RPMI1640 medium,
These include DM-160 medium and Mitsuhashi medium. (b) Methylcellulose (c) DMSO or glycerin The content of methylcellulose is preferably 0.02
~1% (w/v), more preferably 0.05-0.2%
(w/v). If it is less than 0.02%, the effect of protecting against freezing damage by methylcellulose will be insufficient, and if it exceeds 1%, the viscosity of the cryopreservation medium will become too high, which is undesirable from a practical standpoint. The content of DMSO or glycerin is preferably 1 to 20% (v/v), more preferably 5 to 20% (v/v).
15% (v/v). If it is less than 1%, the basic effect of protecting against freezing damage will not be exhibited, and if it exceeds 20%, it will show a direct cytotoxic effect, which is not preferable. The serum-free cryopreservation medium of the present invention is used, for example, as follows. (i) Suspend cultured cells in serum-free cryopreservation medium. Alternatively, the medium in contact with the cells attached to the culture substrate is replaced with a serum-free cryopreservation medium. (ii) Cryopreservation at −70°C or below The serum-free cryopreservation medium of the present invention can freeze-preserve all cultured animal cells for a long period of time. Examples of such animal cells include L.
P3 cells, hybridoma 193, HeLa・P3 (derived from human uterine cancer), L5178Y (mouse lymphoma cells)
etc. can be mentioned. The present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples below. Example 1 Cryopreservation of L/P3 cells (1) 2 g of methylcellulose is suspended in 100 ml of pure water, sterilized in an autoclave, and then stirred and dissolved overnight at 4°C. (2) Mix 1 volume of DM-160 medium, in which the solutes of the commonly used DM-160 medium have been adjusted to twice the concentration, and 1 volume of the methylcellulose solution from (1), and then add 6 volumes of the usual DM-160 medium to this mixture. Add 2 volumes and 2 volumes of DMSO. This is used as a double concentration serum-free cryopreservation medium. (3) Except for the culture medium of L/P3 cells,
Peel off the cells with a scraper. (4) Gently pipette to disperse the cells. (5) Collect cells by centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 3 minutes. (6) Wash the collected cells once with regular DM-160 medium. (7) Suspend these cells in regular DM-160 medium,
Adjust the cell density to around 2×10 6 cells/ml. (8) Add the same volume or 1/3 volume of the double concentration serum-free cryopreservation medium prepared in (2) and mix well. (9) Dispense 1 ml into freezing ampoules, place in a program freezer, and incubate at a rate of -1℃/min.
Cool to below 70℃ and freeze. (10) Store in an ultra-low temperature freezer or liquid nitrogen tank for cryopreservation. L.
The viability of P3 cells is shown in Table 1. These cells have the property of containing some dead cells in the cell population even in the logarithmic growth phase in normal serum-free culture, but the survival rate of the cell population before freezing is not affected by methylcellulose. I don't accept it. Cryopreservation medium without methylcellulose (control)
Compared to this, when the above serum-free cryopreservation medium was used, the survival rate was 1.7 times higher even after freezing and thawing.

[Table] The cells were frozen at a final cell density of 2×10 6 /ml and thawed after 24 hours. After thawing, the cells were washed once with normal medium, and normal medium containing 0.06% trypan blue was added and left for 2 minutes. Afterwards, the cells were washed once with phosphate buffered saline, and the total cell count was determined using a hemocytometer.
Live cells that were not stained with trypan blue were counted and the viability was calculated. Control is DM-160 medium containing only 10% DMSO;
No. 1 is a DM-160 medium containing 0.1% methylcellulose and 10% DMSO, and No. 2 is a DM-160 medium containing 0.05% methylcellulose and 5% DMSO. Example 2 Cryopreservation of Hybridoma 193-(1) (1) A double concentration serum-free cryopreservation medium is prepared according to (1) and (2) of Example 1. However, MEM medium is used instead of DM-160 medium. (2) 1 volume of this double concentration serum-free cryopreservation medium,
Mix 1 volume of hybridoma 193-(1) cell suspension cultured in serum-free medium SFM101. (3) Dispense 1 ml each into freezing ampoules, place in a program freezer, and freeze at a rate of -1℃/min.
Cool to below 70℃ and freeze. (10) Store in an ultra-low temperature freezer or liquid nitrogen tank for cryopreservation. The recovery rate and survival rate of cells cryopreserved for 24 hours by this method are shown in Table 2. Even if these cells are not frozen, their survival rate tends to decrease just by suspending them in a medium containing 10% DMSO. In comparison, when using the serum-free cryopreservation medium mentioned above, even after freezing and thawing,
% serum-added cryopreservation medium, maintaining cell recovery rate and survival rate almost the same.
