THP-1 safety in pregnancy - (Dec/27/2010 )

Hi!

Does anyone know if there is any special risk in handling THP-1 cells during pregnancy?

Regards

As far as I can see they should be fine, there doesn't seem to be any viral transformation for this cell line, so there is no possibility of viral infection from the line.
