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.
Excellent signal/background ratio and stable luciferase expression make this cell line ideal for in vivo bioluminescence imaging of xenograft animal model to study human cancer and monitor activity of anti-cancer drug. It also can be used in cell-based assays for cancer research.
The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated RPMI-1640 Medium (ATCC 30-2001). To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium:
