BL-29
ACC 950
Cell line:
BL-29
DSMZ no.:
ACC 950
Species:
human (Homo sapiens)
Cell type:
Burkitt lymphoma
Origin:
established in 1981 from the tumor of a 4-year-old girl with untreated Burkitt lymphoma; cells are EBV-positive and were described to carry a t(8;14) (q24;q32) translocation
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 detected by western blot after stimulating the cells with phorbol ester / sodium butyrate. The infection was classified as potentially lytic associated with a possible production of active viruses. A transmission of EBV during handling of the cells is possible and the cell line is thus categorized biosafety level 2.
