Notes

Growth characteristics: doubling time was 12-14 hr for attached cultures, this line could be cultured continuously in suspension by periodic harvesting and addition of fresh medium with maximum cell densities of 3 x 10e6 cells/mL and a population doubling time of 17 h; Unique properties: a baculovirus expression was used to produce 3 recombinant proteins and this cell line produced the highest yield of pseudorabies virus glycoprotein (gp50T), human plasminogen (HPg), and β-galactosidase β-gal).

Medium
