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.

Alliot F, Pessac B. Astrocytic cell clones derived from established cultures of 8-day postnatal mouse cerebella. Brain Res. 306: 283-291, 1984. PubMed: 6466977 According to their morphology, 3 separate types of these GFAP-positive clones could be distinguished. Type I and II cells had small somata.
Type I had several short processes, while type II had two processes, one of which was very thin and long (greater than 200 microns). Type III cells had large flat somata and no processes.
The astrocyte type II cloned cell line named C8-S is available as ATCC CRL-2535 and the astrocyte type III cloned cell line named C8-D30 is available as ATCC CRL-2534.
One clone with microglial properties named C8-B4 is available as ATCC CRL-2540.
The C8-D1A cell line has the morphology of fibrous astrocytes.
Clonal permanent cell lines with astrocytic or microglial properties have been established from explant cultures of 8-day postnatal mouse cerebella after in vitro spontaneous transformation.
