Abstract A new cell line, designated Bm-21E-HNU5, has been established from embryos of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. Since the first subculture was made, the cells have been subcultured at 1:2 split ratio at an interval of 4-5 days. Preliminary studies showed that the new cell line is very promising and was susceptible to many baculoviruses, such as NPVs of Heliothis armigera, Autographa californica, Philosamia cynthia ricini and GV of Plutella xylostella. However, it seemed to be neither susceptible to the NPV nor to the GPV of the homologous host insect, Bombyx mori.
