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.
This cell line was developed from a wedge biopsy of a liver metastasis of a pancreatic ductal carcinoma.
The cells can be lysed completely in vitro by autologous and allogeneic lymphokine activated killer (LAK) cells in the presence of interleukin 2 (IL-2). They are relatively insensitive to autologous and allogeneic natural killer (NK) cell lysis.
The cells produce CEA, and grow in orthotopic and heterotopic positions in nude mice within 21 days at 100% frequency (5/5).
Volumes used in this protocol are for 75 cm2 flask; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.
