Growing one cell to many cell

[aaroncjj_2020]

Dear All,

I would like to know that if i have only one cell, wat is the method the enable me to get the karyotype of the chromosome?

as i know we can do it from blood extraction. however this time i only supply with only one cell.
Please help... thanks

OK, growing many cells from one cell is not quite the same thing as trying to get a karyotype from a single cell. Which is it you want to do? If you are growing adherent cells like fibroblasts, just titrate them out at low density. Wait a few days and then isolate individual "colonies" of cells. Use a small cloning cylinder to isolate the colony from anything else on the plate, trypsinize within the cylinder and transfer the released cells to a fresh plate and grow that plate up and you've got a primary or secondary clone of cells that were derived from a single cell. This is the classic tissue-culturist way of cloning from the days before recombinant DNA. If your cells are non-adherent, you can do the same thing, but you have to titrate into small flasks at titers where you expect to transfer only one cell per volume transferred, but the principle is the same.

Again, this is not the same thing as getting a karyotype from a single cell.

ok. if it is possible to get the karyotype from one cell, may i know the method and how it work? thanks a lot

I guess you can do it. I’m not that familiar with these things. Evidently there is even a patent out on it.
