Methods Mol Biol. 2016:1350:119-42. doi: 10.1007/978-1-4939-3043-2_6.

Abstract

This chapter lists the known cell lines from Lepidoptera, largely based on previous compilations of insect cell lines published by W. Fred Hink. More than 320 lines from 65 species are listed. The official designation is given for each cell line as well as the species, tissue source, and, when known, the susceptibilities to baculoviruses.

Keywords: Continuous cell lines; Lepidoptera.
