Notes
First hymenopteran cell line from A. ochropus; Four hemocyte types identified: prohemocytes, plasmatocytes, granulocytes, oenocytoids; Population doubling time: 3 days in EX-CELL, 5 days in Grace medium; Responsive to 20-hydroxyecdysone (ecdysone-induced morphological changes); Biochemical profiling showed significant changes in glucose, protein, cholesterol, and urea metabolism; Useful for research in bio-insecticides, immunology, endocrinology, toxicology.
Medium
EX-CELL® 420 + 20–10% FBS; Grace’s medium + 20–10% FBS; (Cultured at 28 °C)
