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 WT 9-7 cell line was established in July, 1999 from a single cyst from a proximal cortical tubule taken from a patient with Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD).
WT 9-7 is one of a series of immortalized epithelial cell lines from over 30 individual renal cysts obtained from 11 patients with ADPKD.
The cells were transformed with a wild type recombinant adeno-SV40 virus.
