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.
The cells are poorly differentiated.
The cells are positive for expression of Her2-neu and negative for expression of p53.
The cells are negative for expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and for expression of progesterone receptor (PR) by immunohistochemistry, but PR expression was detectable at a low level by cytosolic protein assay.
Note: To avoid clumping do not agitate the cells by hitting or shaking the flask while waiting for the cells to detach. Cells that are difficult to detach may be placed at 37°C to facilitate dispersal.
