Cell Name	Caco-2 Cell Line
Organism	Homo sapiens, Human
Age	72 years
Tissue	Colon
Morphology	Epithelial
Growth Properties	Adherent
Descriptions	Upon reaching confluence, the cells express characteristics of enterocytic differentiation. Ref Caco-2 cells express retinoic acid binding protein I and retinol binding protein Ⅱ.
Biosafety Level	1

Complete Growth Medium	MEM +20% FBS +1% P/S
Subculturing	Remove and discard culture medium. Briefly rinse the cell layer with DPBS solution to remove all traces of serum that contains trypsin inhibitor. Add 1.0 to 2.0 mL of Trypsin-EDTA solution to flask and observe cells under an inverted microscope until cell layer is dispersed (usually within 2 to 3 minutes). Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal. Add 4.0 to 6.0 mL of complete growth medium and aspirate cells by gently pipetting. Add appropriate aliquots of the cell suspension to new culture vessels.
