The BALL-1 cell line is a human B-cell line derived from the peripheral blood of an acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patient. It exhibits unique characteristics, including its ability to induce T cells to produce a distinctive eosinophil chemotactic factor. Transplantation into immunodeficient hamsters results in aggressive infiltration of skin and bone marrow, rapid tumor growth, and eventual leukemia development. 
BALL-1 cells are susceptible to the cytotoxic effects of the lectin Abrin-a, while the protein GPSM1 promotes tumor growth within the cell line. Cultures can be sustained through fresh medium supplementation or by subcultivation through centrifugation and subsequent resuspension at a 1:2-1:4 ratio.
Why choose BALL-1 from AcceGen?
The BALL-1 cell line exhibits robust viability and quality, maintaining sterility by testing negative for bacteria, fungi, and mycoplasma contamination. Its identity is confirmed through STR profiling, ensuring accurate characterization and validation.
