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.

Razani B, et al. Caveolin-1 null mice are viable but show evidence of hyperproliferative and vascular abnormalities. J. Biol. Chem. 276: 38121-38138, 2001. PubMed: 11457855 The 3T3 MEFs KO cell line (ATCC CRL-2753) is homozygous for a disruption of the caveolin-1 gene Cav-1 (-/-) while the 3T3 MEFs WT cell line (ATCC CRL-2752) is Cav-1 (+/+). Analysis of cultured fibroblasts from Cav-1 null embryos reveals a loss of caveolin-2 protein expression; defects in the endocytosis of a known caveolar ligand, (fluorescein isothiocyanate-albumin); and a hyperproliferative phenotype. These phenotypic changes are reversed by recombinant expression of the caveolin-1 cDNA. Ref

A culture deposited with the ATCC in September of 2002 was found to be contaminated with mycoplasma. Progeny were cured by a 21-day treatment with BM Cyclin. The cells were assayed for mycoplasma, by the Hoechst stain, PCR and the standard culture test, after a six-week period following treatment. All tests were negative.
