Notes
Morphology: cells are mostly spherical in shape; Karyology: typical of other lepidopteran cell lines, consisted of numerous microchromosomes; Growth characteristics: population doubling time = 3 d; Authentication: RAPD-PCR is used to distinguish the cell line from others.
Medium
Grace's insect medium + 10% FBS
