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 can be paired with MEF cell lines, generated from BCL-2 family member knockout mice (e.g., ATCC CRL-2908, ATCC CRL-2909, ATCC CRL-2910, ATCC CRL-2911, ATCC CRL-2912, ATCC CRL-2913), as a control to study the molecular mechnaisms of cell apoptosis and the BCL-2 family signaling pathway.
These cells are SV40 immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs), which were generated from wild type mice.

The cells will slough off of the growth surface if they become too heavy.
