Why should I be worried about mycoplasma contamination?

Mycoplasma contamination affects up to 80% of continuous cell cultures. If undetected, mycoplasma contamination can have significant effects on the quality and reliability of your cell culture preparations.

Mycoplasma contamination:

  • Induces deleterious effects on cell culture quality.
  • Alters the phenotypic characteristics of host cells.
  • Increases experimental variation.
  • Is common in eukaryotic cell cultures.
  • Is resistant to antibiotics such as penicillin and streptomycin.
  • Has multiple sources (i.e. personnel, reagents, other infected cells).

Mycoplasma are difficult to detect because they:

  • Are not visible using standard microscopes.
  • Are small enough to pass through 0.45 mm sterilization filters.
  • Do not produce changes in culture medium color, pH, or turbidit

What is the best method to determine if my cultured cells are mycoplasma-contaminated?

To provide an accurate and highly sensitive tool for routine screening of mycoplasma contamination in cultured cells, R&D Systems developed the MycoProbe Mycoplasma Detection Assay. This assay detects Mycoplasma 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) using a colorimetric signal amplification system with sensitivity comparable to PCR. The MycoProbe assay is not susceptible to common problems encountered with PCR-based mycoplasma detection kits.

The MycoProbe Mycoplasma Detection Assay:

  • Detects the eight mycoplasma species known to cause 95% of eukaryotic cell culture contamination.
  • Is highly sensitive (comparable to PCR).
  • Is compatible with high-throughput screening.
  • Does not generate false positives from amplicon contamination.
  • Can be used for cell culture supernatants or cultured cell pellets.
  • Can be used with samples from fresh or frozen cells.
  • Does not require cells to be cultured in antibiotic-free media.
  • Includes a synthetic DNA oligonucleotide positive control.
  • Generates results in 4.5 hours.

Mycoplasma Detection in Cell Line Supernates and Cell Lysates. The presence of the eight mycoplasma species known to cause 95% of eukaryotic cell culture contamination was tested in supernates and cell lysates of the indicated cell lines using the MycoProbe Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Catalog # CUL001B). The average of the duplicate optical density (OD) readings for each control and sample was determined. The average negative control OD value was subtracted from all average sample OD values. A calculated positive control OD value of >0.10 indicated mycoplasma contamination (black line) in the CTLL-2, BaF3, A431, and K562 (cell lysate 1) samples. Abbreviations: CTLL-2 mouse cytotoxic T cell line, BaF3 mouse pro-B cell line, HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line, A431 human epithelial carcinoma cell line, and K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line.

Procedure Overview

R&D Systems Protocol for Mouse Treg Cell Differentiation

Wash the Hybridization Plate 2 times with Wash Buffer.

Add diluted Probes, Positive Control, Sample Diluent (Negative Control), or sample to the designated wells.

Incubate the plate for 60 minutes in a 65 °C water bath.

Protocol for Mouse Treg Cell Differentiation Step 1

Wash the Streptavidin Plate 2 times with Wash Buffer.

Transfer 150 µL from each well of the Hybridization Plate to the Streptavidin Plate.

Incubate for 60 minutes on a horizontal orbital shaker.

Protocol for Mouse Treg Cell Differentiation Step 2

Wash the Streptavidin Plate 4 times with Wash Buffer.

Add Anti-Digoxigenin Conjugate to each well.

Incubate for 60 minutes on a shaker.

Protocol for Mouse Treg Cell Differentiation Step 3

Wash the Streptavidin Plate 6 times with Wash Buffer.

Add Substrate Solution to each well.

Incubate for 60 minutes on a shaker.
Do not wash.

Protocol for Mouse Treg Cell Differentiation Step 4

Add Amplifier Solution to each well.

Incubate for 30 minutes on a shaker.
Do not wash.

Protocol for Mouse Treg Cell Differentiation Step 5

Add Stop Solution to each well.

Determine the optical density (OD) of each well within 30 minutes, using a microplate reader set to 490 nm.

Protocol for Mouse Treg Cell Differentiation Step 6

Note: If wavelength correction is available, set to 650 nm or 690 nm. If wavelength correction is not available, subtract readings at 650 nm or 690 nm from the readings at 490 nm. This subtraction will correct for optical imperfections in the plate. Readings made directly at 490 nm without correction may be higher and less accurate.

 
 
Calculation of Results

Determine the average of the duplicate optical density (OD) readings for each control and sample. Subtract the average negative control OD value from all average OD values. The calculated positive control OD value should be > 1.5.

OD Values (Calculated)

Result

Interpretation
< 0.05 Negative No mycoplasma detected
0.05 – 0.10 Inconclusive Sample is suspect for mycoplasma. Continue to culture for an additional 2 - 3 days and repeat the test. If sample gives a similar OD, then no mycoplasma are detected.
> 0.10 Positive Mycoplasma detected

Our lab has been using this kit for routine Mycoplasma testing of cultures for over 2 years now. The kit is highly sensitive and specific to Mycoplasma. The data is reproducible and more accurate than other tests, the size of the assay is adjustable (the kit comes as 12 8-well strips). You get reliable results in a few hours. Overall, great product and highly recommended.
