Cat.No.

CSC-C6196X

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

SCHNEIDER-2

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
