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 line is positive for expression of c-myc, K-ras, H-ras, N-ras, Myb, sis and fos oncogenes.
Tumor specific nuclear matrix proteins CC-3 and CC-4 are expressed.
Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flask; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:3 to 1:10 is recommended
