Notes
Origin: made from same ovarian tissue as BmN-SWU2 cells; Morphology: consists of short, spindle-shaped cells; Growth characteristics: doubling time = 57.7 hr (45th passage); Karyology: diploid cell line with 80.5% cells having 2n=56 chromosomes; Unique properties: transient expression efficiency of green fluorescent protein gene (using the transgenic expression vector pBac[A3Neo + A3EGFP]) is 54.8%.
