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 is a suitable transfection host.
This is a near triploid cell line (modal number = 69; range = 58 to 74). The frequency of higher ploidies is 2.5%. The line has an extremely complex karyotype with nearly 60% of the chromosomes in each cell being structurally altered marker chromosomes., Among the markers are t(3p4q), t(5q6q), t(5p6p), i(18q), i(18p); t(4q7p), and del(7)(q32). The first four of these are usually paired. Normal N4, N5, N6, N7, N10, N13, N18, N19, N20 and X are absent.
