Description
Derived from a cotton-top tamarin (Saguinus oedipus). Releases high titres of transforming 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.
