Descripción

General description

Vero cells are anchorage-dependent cells and have wide applications in molecular and cell biology research. Vero cells have a pseudo-diploid karyotype and are preferred cell lines for the propagation of various viruses, including poliovirus, rotavirus influenza and rabies virus. These cells are useful hosts for vaccine production.

Cell Line Origin

Monkey African Green kidney

Cell Line Description
