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.
BRCA1 analysis revealed that the cell line is homozygous for the BRCA1 5382C mutation, whereas the lymphoblastoid cell line derived from the same patient is heterozygous for the same mutation
The cell line has an acquired mutation of TP53 with wild-type allele loss; an acquired homozygous deletion of the PTEN gene, and loss of heterozygosity at multiple loci known to be involved in the pathogenesis of breast cancer
The cells are negative for expression of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR)
An EBV transformed lymphoblastoid cell line (HCC1937BL) from the same patient is available as ATCC CRL-2337
