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.
Temperature: 37°C
Recommendations for Infection: Thaw the cells in a 37°C water bath until the ice is just melted, then add 0.5 mL of cells directly to a T-25 flask containing fresh medium. Post-freeze recovery is slow. Perform complete media renewal on Day 3 and continue media renewal every 3 - 4 days. Monitor the cells for adherence and expect populations of cells to project epithelial structures on approximately Day 4 - Day 8. Cell growth rate significantly increases with subsequent subcultures.
Incubation: 3-5 days, until confluent and passaging or harvesting is needed

Mink cells expressing Gibbon Ape Leukemia Virus. These infected cells were produced by transfecting a biologically clone of GALV-SEATO into mink cells and testing cell supernatant after several passages for a sustained peak in reverse transcriptase activity-designating that the cells are productively infected. The GALV clone was derived from sequences obtained from GALV strain San Francisco and SEATO, pGEM-13-386, GaLV-SEATO.
