Description

Origine de la lignée cellulaire

Cotton-top Tamarin Monkey peripheral blood lymphocyte

Description de la lignée cellulaire

Derived from a cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus). Releases high titres of transforming Epstein Bar virus (EBV). Thus it provides a source of EBV to establish continuous lymphocytic lines from human donors. The cells should be handled under laboratory containment level 2.

In some instances the cell line B95-8 has been described as derived from ′marmoset′; however, this is not correct. B95-8 was derived from a cotton-top tamarin (Saguinas oedipus); this has been confirmed by DNA profiling.
