MB-L2

Description: Etablished from the aortic tissue cells of a lamb; cells were described to be susceptible to Visna Maedi Virus and to be free of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV)

Description: Derived from pupal ovarian tissue of spodoptera frugiperda. The cells are highly susceptible to Baculovirus infection and are used in the production of protein products genetically manipulated into Baculovirus vector systems. They were derived at the USDA Insect Pathology Laboratory from a cell line originating from pupal ovarian tissue of the fall army worm, Spodoptera frugiperda. Sf21 cells have greater range in size and have a doubling time of 24 hr compared to 48-72 hr for Sf9 cells

Description: Established from the late embryo of a Drosophila melanogaster (fruitfly) in 1972; originally the cells were diploid with 5-10% XY, currently the cell line has only XX cells that are now 60-80% tetraploid; also often termed (incorrectly) S2

Description: Derived from larvae of a silkworm (species Bombyx mori, family Bombycidae, order Lepidoptera) (Seidenspinner)

Description: Cloned from the parent line, IPLB-SF-21-AE, derived from pupal ovarian tissue of the fall armyworm (species Spodoptera frugiperda, family Noctuidae, order Lepidoptera); cells are susceptible to infection with MNPV and other Baculoviruses; cells can be used with Baculovirus expression vectors

Description: Established from the larvae of a gypsy moth (species Lymantria dispar, family Lymantriidae, order Lepidoptera) (Schwammspinner)
