Notes
Origin: IPLB-Ekx4V originated from the same primary culture; Morphology: at lower passages this cell line grows as multicellular vesicles (designated Ekx4-V), whereas at higher passages this line grows as small aggregates or chains of cells growing in suspension (designated Ekx4-S); Authentication: similarity of the isozyme patterns of these cells to E. kuehniella egg extract indicates that they are derived from E. kuehniella.
