Abstract A cell line (MG-3) has been developed from gill tissue of C. mrigala, a fresh water fish cultivated in India. The cells showed optimal growth at 28 degree C and could be cryopreserved. Isoenzyme characterization of MG-3 cells was carried out by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The profiles for all the isoenzymes in the MG-3 cells differed markedly from human and monkey cell lines like HeLa, Vero etc. The modal chromosome number was 50. Ultrastructural observation showed that the cell line had cells with secretory activity.
Cell lines CVCL_J029; MG-3
