Growth and maintenance of HeLa cells in serum-free medium supplemented with hormones

S E Hutchings et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1978 Feb.

Abstract

HeLa cells grow in a nutritionally complete synthetic medium (Ham's F12) supplemented with insulin, transferrin, hydrocortisone (aldosterone), fibroblast growth factor, and epidermal growth factor. This hormone-supplemented medium supports clonal growth, long-term cultivation, and a growth rate equal to that of serum-supplemented medium. The omission of any one of the five components results in less than maximal cell growth.
