Description

Cell Line Origin

Human foetal lung

Cell Line Description

Established from normal lung tissue of a 14 week old male foetus. The cells undergo between 60-70 population doublings before senescence. The virus susceptibility of this line to human viruses is similar to WI-38.

Application

It has been used as a cell substrate to study the production of recombinant MVA (modified vaccinia virus Ankara).
