293T
ACC 635
Cell line:
293T
DSMZ no.:
ACC 635
Species:
human (Homo sapiens)
Cell type:
embryonal kidney
Origin:
highly transfectable derivative of the human primary embryonal kidney cell line 293 (ACC 305) carrying a plasmid containing the temperature sensitive mutant of SV-40 large T-antigen (tsA1609); cells originally referred to as 293tsA1609neo; cells were described in the literature to be Geniticin (Neomycin, G418) resistant and to express SV-40 large T at 33°C, but not at 40°C; classified as risk group 1 according to the German Central Commission for Biological Safety (ZKBS)
Biosafety level:
1, GMO-S1
Risk assessment:
The cell line was established by transfection of the cells with sheared DNA of adenovirus type 5. The cells contain 4 to 5 copies of the left end of the virus (12% of the viral genome) including E1a and E1b genes and one copy of the right end of the virus (10% of the genome) including the E4 gene. No active viruses are produced.
Depositor-specific restrictions:
Transfer to third parties needs to be negotiated with the depositor.

Authenticity:
STR analysis according to the global standard ANSI/ATCC ASN-0002.1-2021 (2021) resulted in an authentic STR profile of the reference STR database.
Cytogenetics:
human flat-moded near-triploid karyotype; 61-73<3n>XXX, add(1)(p32), add(1)(q44)x1-2, der(4;10)(q10;q10), del(8)(p12), t(9;9)(p24;q21), der(13)t(6;13)(q21;q32), der(14)t(13;14)(q32;q32), del(17)(p11), der(22)t(17;22)(q21;q22)
