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 original histological characteristics of the colon carcinoma were maintained throughout transplantation in nude mice.
After 23 passages in athymic mice, the T84 cell line was established. These cells grow to confluence as monolayers and exhibit tight junctions and desmosomes between adjacent cells.
They have receptors for many peptide hormones and neurotransmitters and maintain vectorial electrolyte transport.
This line exhibits tight junctions, and desmosomes between adjacent cells.
The cells are positive for keratin by immunoperoxidase staining.
