Description

Cell Line Origin

Fish, bluegill fry

Cell Line Description

The cell line BF-2 has been derived from a trypsinised suspension of pooled caudal portions of the trunk of 1 year old fingerlings of Bluegill fry (Lepomis macrochirus). Cells have been reported to be susceptible to a variety of fish viruses including lymphocystis virus, viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV), infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) and tadpole edema virus (TEV) of frogs. The cell monolayer is confluent after 48-56 hours using a 1:4 split ratio. Catalogue no. at CCLV (depositor) is RIE 193.

Culture Medium

EMEM(EBSS) (M2279) + 2mM L-Glutamine (G7513) + 1% Non Essential Amino Acids(NEAA) (M7145) + 120 mg/l Sodium Pyruvate(NaP) (S8636) + 10% FBS / FCS (F2442).

Subculture Routine

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:4 to 1:6 using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; cells replicate at 15-33ºC, optimal temperature 23-26ºC; monolayer is stable for at least 10 days, maintenance medium should contain MEM(EBSS) + 740 mg/l NaHCO₃ + 1.2g/l
