Abstract A fibroblast-like cell line (designated ULF-23) was established from the fins of Umbra limi. The cell doubling time was estimated to be 72 hours from the growth curve. It did not form colonies at all. The modal chromosome number shifted to 23 after 50 passages, but it still kept almost all other karyological characters. ULF-23 cells were irradiated with X-rays for chromosome aberration analysis or treated with MNNG for sister chromatid exchange (SCE) analysis. Both yields were lower than in cultured mammalian cells, but their usefulness in in vitro fish cytogenetic studies was confirmed.
Cell lines CVCL_5641; ULF-23
