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.
Transfection Host: These cells may be used for stable transfection studies.
immunoglobulin; IgM (surface)
It lacks a normal c-myc gene, but contains two copies of an ALV deregulated myc gene.
The cells retain the ability to rearrange the immunoglobulin light chain gene (IgL).
At the IgL locus, DT40 contains one rearranged and one germline allele.
The cell line exhibits a lymphoblastoid phenotype.
Infectivity assays revealed that DT40 releases low levels of infectious RAV-1.
Both the c-rel gene and the v-rel oncogenes induce major histocompatibility (MHC) class II antigen expression on the DT40 cell line.
The expression of MHC class II is induced more rapidly by v-rel than c-rel and several weeks after infection, rel induced class II antigen as much as 50 fold more efficiently than c-rel.
