Notes
Morphology: cells are mostly spherical to fibroblastic ranging from about 15 to 20 µm in diameter; Growth characteristics: cells grow in a loose monolayer with considerable clumping in dense cultures; Authentication: microimmunodiffusion assay is performed to differentiate this cell line from other lepidopteran insects as well as pupal extracts from L. dispar; Sublines: 65CP and 65P.
