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.
The line is resistant to 0.1 mM 8-azaguanine and die in HAT medium.
The cells have been reported to be cholesterol auxotrophs due to a deficiency in 3-ketosteroid reductase activity.
Complete growth medium described above supplemented with 5% (v/v) DMSO. Cell culture tested DMSO is available as ATCC Catalog No. 4-X.
