BL-37
ACC 918
Cell line:
BL-37
DSMZ no.:
ACC 918
Species:
human (Homo sapiens)
Cell type:
Burkitt lymphoma
Origin:
established in 1981 from the bone marrow of a 3-year old boy diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma. The cells are EBV+ and are described to carry a t(8;22) translocation leading to MYC-IGL fusion; a matched B-lymphoblastoid cell line is available (IARC-176A, DSMZ ACC 926)
Biosafety level:
2
Risk assessment:
The cell line is positive for EBV (HHV-4) by PCR analysis. Additionally, expression of immediate-early protein BZLF-1 was also positive by western blot analysis in untreated and phorbol ester / sodium butyrate stimulated cells. The infection was classified as lytic associated with a production of active viruses. A transmission of EBV during handling of the cells is possible and the cell line is therefore classified biosafety level 2.
