Notes
Morphology: mostly round shaped cells; Growth characteristics: cell density of 7.5 million cells/ml were observed after 72 hour in Grace's medium and 7.4-5.9 million cells/ml observed under TNM-FH medium; Unique properties: toxicity assays were performed on this cell line and observed mortality of more than 90% and 74% cell growth inhibition.
Medium
Grace's Insect medium; TNM-FH medium
