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.
For use in testing and calibration in ISO 17025 accredited laboratories, to challenge assay performance, validate or compare test methods, and to establish sensitivity, linearity and specificity during assay validation or implementation.
This cell line may be used as a transfection host.
Certified Reference Material produced under an ISO 17034 accredited process.
Certificates of Analysis are available electronically at www.atcc.org, or by hardcopy upon request.
Item has been tested for KRAS mutation (p.G13D c.38G>A)
The cells express the WNT7B oncogene [PubMed: 8168088].
(Note: The L-15 medium formulation was devised for use in a free gas exchange with atmospheric air. A CO2 and air mixture is detrimental to cells when using this medium for cultivation)
