A NEW CELL LINE (NTU-SE) FROM PUPAL TISSUES OF THE BEET ARMYWORM, SPODOPTERA EXIGUA (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE), IS HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO S. EXIGUA MULTIPLE NUCLEOPOLYHEDROVIRUS (SEMNPV) AND AUTOGRAPHA CALIFORNICA MNPV (ACMNPV). Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 111(2), 143-151.
Notes
Morphology: this cell line contains four major morphologic types: round, polymorphic, spindle-shaped, and comma-shaped cells; Growth characteristics: doubling time = 35.5 hr; Karyology: chromosomal spread of cells is typical of that of lepidopteran cell lines; Authentication: this cell line exhibits distinct isozyme patterns of esterase, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and malate dehydrogenase (MDH) from those of the other insect cell lines.
