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.

Stimulation of the cells with Fas ligand lead to apoptotic cell death within 16 hours. The cells were also killed by puromycin in a dose dependent manner.
Bcl-2 protects these cells from Fas ligand-induced cell death but was shown to have only a small protective effect on puromycin-induced apoptosis.
Information received from the depositor indicates the maximum number of serial subcultivations since origin is approximately passage 550. Current lots are available at approximately passage 539.
