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 contains HeLa marker chromosomes and has type A G6PD (see Nature 259:211-213, 1976 and In Vitro 14:469-475, 1978).
Note: Cells of this line contain HeLa marker chromosomes, and were derived via HeLa contamination
