Abstract A substrate-depending cell line of Bombyx mori and its cloned cell line were established and characterized for virus cloning in a plaque assay in order to develop a baculovirus-expression system. The cell line designated as SES-BoMo-15A, which is a mixture of floating and adherent cells, was cultured in a MGM-448 medium containing a high concentration of TC-AM-1 antibiotics. Although many cells were damaged and died, the remaining cells gradually recovered their growth activity when they were cultured in a medium containing a normal concentration of antibiotics, and about 7 months later adherent cells could be subcultured. This substrate-depending cell line was named SES-BoMo-15 AII. The BoMo-15 AII cells were firmly attached to the base of the culture vessel, and were usually detached by treatment with pancreata in following pipetting. The population doubling time was about 4 days. The cell line was highly susceptible to B. mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) and also to both B. mori cytoplasmic polyhedrosis virus (CPV) 'A strain and Euxoa scandens CPV. Furthermore a cell line, named NISES-BoMo-15 AIIc, which was cloned by a colonial cloning method from SES-BoMo-15 AII exhibited almost the same characteristics as the original cell line.
