IARC-290A
ACC 929
Cell line:
IARC-290A
DSMZ no.:
ACC 929
Species:
human (Homo sapiens)
Cell type:
B lymphoblastoid cells
Origin:
B95-8-EBV-transformed cell line established in 1982 from normal B-cells of peripheral blood of a 33-year-old woman with sporadic Burkitt lymphoma; an autologous Burkitt lymphoma cell line is available (BL-74, DSMZ ACC 922)
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.
