Biological safety On a cell-pellet of the same cell strain, we have verified:
. the absence of HIV integrated pro-viral DNA, by PCR (Amplicor)
. the absence of hepatitis C viral DNA, by PCR (Amplicor)
On culture supernatant, we have verified:
. the absence of hepatitis B antigen HBs
. the absence of bacteria and fungus
. the absence of mycoplasma
