Notes
Morphology: 3 cell types are distinguishable, epithelial-like cells (91%), fibroblast-like cells (7%), and giant cells (2%); Karyology: the chromosome number is very high, 41-200 and above; Authentication: isozyme pattern analysis was performed to differentiate the cell line from other lines.
Medium
Grace's insect medium + 20% FBS
Cell Culture Collection
National Institute of Virology, Pune, India.
Status
