Abstract A continuous cell line was obtained from the culture of fat bodies of a male arctiid moth larva, Spilarctia seriatopunctata, and designated as NIAS-SpSe-1. The cells were mostly spherical in shape, and grew in suspension cultures. The karyotype of the cell was typical of the lepidopteran cell line, and consisted of numerous microchromosomes. The population doubling time of the cell was about 3 days. The cell could be stored for a few months in a refrigerator and for more than 2 years at -70 Celsius in a medium containing 10% glycerol.
Cell lines CVCL_Z545; NIAS-SpSe-1
