Abstract To establish a novel cell line from spotted halibut, Verasper variegatus, primary culture of spotted halibut gill tissue was initiated with methods of trypsin digestion, and the cells were successfully sub-cultured through optimizing the medium formulation and culture conditions. The gill cells grew well at 22 Celsius in DMEM/F-12 medium (pH 7.2) which contained 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS), N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, carboxymethyl- chitooligosaccharide, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and insulin- like growth factor-I (IGF-I). The cells showed fibroblastic shape, grew rapidly and formed a confluent monolayer after 30 days of cultivation. The gill cells could be sub-cultured subsequently and maintained their original growth rate after cryopreservation and resuscitation. The population doubling time of the cell line was 43.6 hours at passage 60. Chromosome analysis showed that some cells were chromosomal aneuploidy but most of them had a modal chromosome number of 46, which had a normal diploid karyotype of 23 pairs of telocentric chromosomes at passage 60. A continuous spotted halibut gill cell line has been established which is being sub-cultured to passage 76 now. The establishment of this cell line will make great contribution to the study of mechanisms of cell-virus interactions and the development of viral vaccine for fish viral disease control.
