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 cells are approximately 970-fold less sensitive to CPT than the parental CEM cells.
CEM/C2 cells exhibit cross resistance to both the water soluble (topotecan) and water insoluble (9-amino-CPT and 10,11-methylenedioxy-CPT) analogs of CPT. Resistance to CPT is stable for up to six months.
CEM/C2 cells are also cross resistant to etoposide, dactinomycin, bleomycin, mitoxantrone, 4'-(9-acridinylamino)methanesulfon-m-anisidide, and the anthracyclines daunorubicin and doxorubicin but retain sensitivity to the Vinca alkaloid vincristine.
CEM/C2 cells display atypical multidrug resistance (MDR), altered topoisomerase I catalytic activity and a unique topoisomerase I mutation (Asn722Ser).
