Ham's F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium is a modification of Ham's F-12 Nutrient Mixture. Ham's F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium was developed for primary human hepatocytes, as well as for some rat and chicken liver cells in a reduced serum environment.

This F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium is manufactured as follows:

With: L-glutamine, Phenol Red

Without: HEPES

The complete formulation is available.

Using Ham's F-12K

Ham's F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium contains many components not found in traditional basal media, such as putrescine, thymidine, hypoxanthine, zinc, and higher levels of all amino acids and sodium pyruvate. These additions allow the medium to be supplemented with very low levels of serum or defined components, for some cell types. Ham's F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium contains no proteins or growth factors, and is therefore often supplemented with growth factors and Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). The FBS concentration must be optimized for each cell line. Ham's F-12K (Kaighn's) Medium uses a sodium bicarbonate buffer system (2.5 g/L), and therefore requires a 5–10% CO2 environment to maintain physiological pH.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How long can I keep my media after supplementing with serum?

Generally speaking, media can be used for up to three weeks after supplementation with serum. There are no formal studies to support this, but it is the rule of thumb used by our scientists.

My medium was shipped at room temperature but it is supposed to be stored refrigerated. Is it okay?

We routinely ship media that require long-term storage in the refrigerator at room temperature. We have done studies on representative media formulations to show that media can be at room temperature for up to a week without a problem.

How can I remove mycoplasma contamination from my cell culture medium?

Very often mycoplasma contamination cannot be removed from the culture so it should be discarded. You may have a unique culture that you prefer not to discard and would like to try to clean it. Ciprofloxacin and Plasmocin have reportedly been used for this application. If interested in a protocol or directions for use, check with the antibiotic supplier or published literature. Note that mycoplasma are very difficult to remove from culture and spread easily so the treated cultures should be quarantined until clear of mycoplasma, and your laboratory should be thoroughly cleaned.

I see a decrease in growth of my culture. What should I do?

Try changing the medium or serum. Compare media formulations for differences in glucose, amino acids, and other components. Compare an old lot of serum with a new lot. Increase initial cell inoculums. Lastly, adapt cells sequentially to new medium.

My cells are not adhering to the culture vessel. What should I do?

This can occur if cells are overly trypsinized. Trypsinize for a shorter time or use less trypsin. Mycoplasma contamination could also cause this problem. Segregate your culture and test for mycoplasma infection. Lastly, check for attachment factors in the medium.

Abstract
Human MutY homolog, a DNA glycosylase involved in base excision repair, physically and functionally interacts with mismatch repair proteins human MutS homolog 2/human MutS homolog 6.
Authors: Gu Yesong; Parker Antony; Wilson Teresa M; Bai Haibo; Chang Dau-Yin; Lu A-Lien;
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:11801590
Adenines mismatched with guanines or 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-deoxyguanines that arise through DNA replication errors can be repaired by either base excision repair or mismatch repair. The human MutY homolog (hMYH), a DNA glycosylase, removes adenines from these mismatches. Human MutS homologs, hMSH2/hMSH6 (hMutSalpha), bind to the mismatches and initiate the repair on ... More

Dystrophin deficiency markedly increases enterovirus-induced cardiomyopathy: a genetic predisposition to viral heart disease.
Authors: Xiong Dingding; Lee Gil-Hwan; Badorff Cornel; Dorner Andrea; Lee Sang; Wolf Paul; Knowlton Kirk U;
Journal:Nat Med
PubMed ID:12118246
Both enteroviral infection of the heart and mutations in the dystrophin gene can cause cardiomyopathy. Little is known, however, about the interaction between genetic and acquired forms of cardiomyopathy. We previously demonstrated that the enteroviral protease 2A cleaves dystrophin; therefore, we hypothesized that dystrophin deficiency would predispose to enterovirus-induced cardiomyopathy. ... More
The Slp homology domain of synaptotagmin-like proteins 1-4 and Slac2 functions as a novel Rab27A binding domain.
Authors: Kuroda Taruho S; Fukuda Mitsunori; Ariga Hiroyoshi; Mikoshiba Katsuhiko;
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:11773082
rab27A, which encodes a small GTP-binding protein, was recently identified as a gene in which mutations caused human hemophagocytic syndrome (Griscelli syndrome) and ashen mice, which exhibit defects in melanosome transport as well as in regulated granule exocytosis in cytotoxic T lymphocytes. However, little is known about the molecular mechanism ... More
Role for 18:1 lysophosphatidic acid as an autocrine mediator in prostate cancer cells.
Authors:Xie Y, Gibbs TC, Mukhin YV, Meier KE.
Journal:J Biol Chem
PubMed ID:12084719
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid mediator that may play an important role in growth and survival of carcinomas. In this study, LPA production and response were characterized in two human prostate cancer (CaP) cell lines: PC-3 and Du145. Bombesin, a neuroendocrine peptide that is mitogenic for CaP cells, stimulated ... More
