- ArticleTaub M, Chuman L, Saier MH, Sato G.Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1979 Jul;76(7):3338-42.Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells can grow in synthetic medium supplemented with five factors--insulin, transferrin, prostaglandin E1, hydrocortisone, and triiodothyronine--as a serum substitute. These five factors permit growth for 1 month in the absence of serum and a growth rate equivalent to that observed in serum-supplemented medium. Dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate substitutes for prostaglandin E1 in the medium. Potential applications of the serum-free medium are discussed. The medium permits a defined analysis of the mechanisms regulating hemicyst formation by hormones and permits the growth of primary kidney epithelial cell cultures in the absence of fibroblast overgrowth.
