SF-9
ACC 125
Cell line:
SF-9
DSMZ no.:
ACC 125
Species:
insect - fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) (Spodoptera frugiperda)
Cell type:
ovary cells
Origin:
cloned from the parent cell line, IPLB-SF-21-AE, derived from pupal ovarian tissue of the fall armyworm (species Spodoptera frugiperda, family Noctuidae, order Lepidoptera); cells are susceptible to infection with MNPV and other Baculoviruses; cells can be used with Baculovirus expression vectors
Biosafety level:
1
Permissions and restrictions:
DSMZ Cell Culture Data:
Morphology:
Medium:
80-90% TC 100 medium + 10-20% h.i. FBS (or 80-90% Grace´s insect medium + 10-20% h.i. FBS supplemented with L-Glutamine, hydrolyzed lactalbumin and yeastolate)
Subculture:
split culture 1:2 to 1:3 every 3-5 days (cells grow adherent, but trypsin is not necessary as cells can be detached by tapping the flask or with a rubber policeman); seed out at ca. 2 x 106 cells/80 cm2; immediately after thawing, cell viability may be low
Incubation:
25-29 °C without CO2 ; temperature below 23 °C may lead to reduced growth and loss of adherence
Doubling time:
ca. 50 hours
Harvest:
about 5-10 x 106 cells/80 cm2
Storage:
frozen with 70% medium, 20% FBS, 10% DMSO
DSMZ Scientific Data:
Mycoplasma:
negative in DAPI, microbiological culture, RNA hybridization, PCR assays
Species validation:
Species-level identification was carried out by mitochondrial Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit 1 (COI) DNA barcoding according standard ANSI/ATCC ASN-0003-2015 and revealed Spodoptera frugiperda species.
Viruses:
PCR: SMRV -
