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.
MC-IXC is a twice cloned subline of the neuroepithelioma cell line SK-N-MC (see ATCC HTB-10) which was established in September of 1971 from a metastatic tumor mass.
The choline acetyltransferase activity of MC-IXC was approximately four times higher than the parental line but MC-IXC was negative for dopamine beta hydroxylase activity as was the parental line.
The cells are fibroblast-like and grow to form a dense monolayer.
