Notes

Morphology: cells are spindle-shaped; Growth characteristics: doubling time = 4.70 days; Unique properties: promoter activity of the polyhedrin gene in BmN-SFM cells same as BmN4 cells; mouse interleukin-3 expressed by a recombinant BmNPV was normally secreted and modified with N-linked glycans in BmN-SFM cells.
