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.
ZEM2S cells were derived from ZEM2 in 1993 by selection for growth in a basal nutrient medium supplemented with 5 to 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum.
Medium conditioned by cells from the buffalo rat liver cell line available as BRL 3A (see ATCC CRL-1442).
Both transient and stable expression of foreign genes have been demonstrated in transfected zebrafish blastula derived cell cultures.
A culture submitted to the ATCC in October 1994 was found to be contaminated with mycoplasma, and progeny were cured by a 21 day treatment with BM Cycline.
