ATCC? Number:PRA-108?
Organism: Acanthamoeba castellanii (Douglas) Page
Designations: 9GU
Isolation: clinical specimen - human (isolated from the contact lens case of an asymptomatic patient)Graz Austria Isolation date: 1996
Depositors: J Walochnik
History: J Walochnik
Biosafety Level:2
Shipped: frozen
Growth Conditions: ATCC medium 712: PYG
Temperature: 25.0°C
Duration: axenic Protocol: This strain is distributed as a frozen stabilate. See general instructions for thawing and storage of frozen material before proceeding. As soon as the shipment arrives, remove the frozen ampule from the dry ice and transfer it directly to a 35C water bath. After thawing the ampule, transfer the contents to a 16 x 125 mm plastic screw-capped test tube containing 5 ml of fresh medium. (Glass test tubes may also be used, but the cultures can be transferred less frequently when maintained in plastic.) Screw the cap on tightly and incubate the tube on a 5-15 degree slant at the appropriate temperature. Subculture every 2-4 weeks by vigorously agitating the culture and aseptically transferring a 0.1 ml aliquot to a fresh tube of medium. Prolongation of the transfer interval can be extended up to 6 months for certain strains of Acanthamoeba, however, this must be determined empirically for each strain.
Interval: every month
Permits/Forms: In addition to the MTA mentioned above, other ATCC and/or regulatory permits may be required for the transfer of this ATCC material. Anyone purchasing ATCC material is ultimately responsible for obtaining the permits. Please click here for information regarding the specific requirements for shipment to your location.
