Notes
Origin: made from same ovarian tissue as BmN-SWU1 cells; Morphology: consists of oblong or round, and small cells; Growth characteristics: doubling time = 46.6 hr; Karyology: 89.9% cells of this cell line are diploid (2n=56); Unique properties: BmNPV transcription assays showed that late and very late but not early viral genes were blocked in these cells by unknown mechanisms and syncytium formation assays demonstrated that the BmNPV envelope fusion protein GP64 could not mediate BmN-SWU2 host cell-cell membrane fusion.
