Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
This cell line was initiated from an axillary lymph node on 6/7/94 and took 12.5 months to establish.
A B lymphoblastoid cell line initiated by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformation of peripheral blood lymphocytes from this patient is available as HCC1007 BL (CRL-2319)
The cells are positive for expressions of Her2-neu and p53 oncogenes.
HCC1008 is positive for the epithelial cell specific marker, Epithelial Glycoprotein 2 (EGP2) and cytokeratin 19.
The cells are negative for expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and for expression of progesterone receptor (PR).
A B lymphoblastoid cell line initiated by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformation of peripheral blood lymphocytes from this patient is available as HCC1007 BL (ATCC CRL-2319)
Note: This cell line grows exceedingly slow. Cells grow in patches and cultures only become 50 to 60% confluent.
Note: Cells reattach slowly after subculture (about 50% attached and 50% in suspension). Allow flasks to remain undisturbed for at least a week for cultures to become reestablished. It can take as along as three to four weeks before cultures can be subcultured again.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 is recommended
Medium Renewal: Every 3 to 4 days
Note: For more information on enzymatic dissociation and subculturing of cell lines consult Chapter 10 in Culture of Animal Cells, a manual of Basic Technique by R. Ian Freshney, 3rd edition, published by Alan R. Liss, N.Y., 1994.
