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 parent cell line was transfected with pGL2.TATA.Inr.luc.neo which contains three estrogen responsive elements upstream of a luc reporter gene.
The cells were selected for responsiveness to 17-beta-estradiol. They can be used to screen chemicals for estrogenic or anti-estrogenic activity.
