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.
Unlike EOC 13.31 (ATCC CRL-2468) and EOC 20 (ATCC CRL-2469), these cells do not constitutively express high levels of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens and expression is not upregulated by recombinant murine interferon-gamma.
C3H/HeJ strain is defective in TLR4 (toll-like receptor 4)
