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.
Approximately 50% of LS513 cells express surface carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA).
MHC class II antigens (HLA-DR, DQ, and DP were not detected).
TGF beta-1 is inhibitory for proliferation of LS513 cells, whereas TGF beta-2 has no effect on the growth of these cells.
LS513 cells are 100-fold less sensitive to TGF beta-1 than the LS1034 (ATCC CRL-2158) cell line.
LS513 cells are multidrug resistant (MDR) and are tumorigenic in nude mice.
Colony forming efficiency was 30% in methylcellulose.
