BE10-Intermediate

BE10-Intermediate

Catalogue No.

93040119

Cell Line Name

BE10-Intermediate

Cell Line Description

Produced by passaging the latent period cell line BE10-Early (ECACC catalogue no. 93040118) beyond passage 17. The cells possess elevated levels of tissue plasminogen activator activity, are not tumourigenic in BDIX rats and do not form colonies in agar. Do not be use beyond passage 40 as cell properties alter. The BE10 culture was originally derived 2 days after a single dose of ethylnitrosourea to pregnant rats. The control culture BE11 was derived 2 days after exposure to buffer.

Unless specified otherwise, at ECACC we routinely handle all of our cell lines at containment level 2 in accordance with the ACDP guidelines (Advisory Committee on Dangerous Pathogens) (UK). All cell cultures have the potential to carry as yet unidentified adventitious agents. It is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.

The Culture Collections represent deposits of cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by Culture Collections are accurate, Culture Collections cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and Culture Collections does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer.

Cultures supplied by Culture Collections are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line.
