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.
Yes, in nude mice
Tumors developed within 21 days at 100% frequency (5/5) in nude mice inoculated subcutaneously with 107 cells
The strain obtained by the ATCC most closely resembles the B population. Occurrence of the Philadelphia chromosome, however, was of much lower frequency; none detected in 15 metaphases examined.
The line is EBNA negative.
