In The Beginning

Aedes aegypti cells (Grace's line) growing in a medium containing 5% Antheraea pernyi hemolymph (APH) and 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) were adapted to a hemolymph-free medium. The quantity of APH was gradually substituted with an equal quantity of FBS over a 2-month period. The cells grew very slowly in the hemolymph-free medium in the beginning. However, they became adapted to it in another 8 months; after that they grew as well as the cells in medium supplemented with hemolymph.Also, these cells grew as well in medium containing Bombyx mori hemolymph as in medium enriched with APH.

Mrna And Protein Expression

During cell infection, the fp25k gene of baculoviruses frequently mutates, producing the few polyhedra (FP) per cell phenotype with reduced polyhedrin (polh) expression levels compared with wild-type baculoviruses. Here we report that the fp25k gene of the model baculovirus, Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV), contains two hypermutable seven-adenine (A7) mononucleotide repeats (MNRs) that were mutated to A8 MNRs and a TTAA site that had host DNA insertions, producing fp25k mutants during Sf21 cell infection. The FP phenotype in Sf9 and Hi5 cells was more pronounced than in Sf21 cells. AcMNPV fp25k mutants produced similar levels of polyhedra or enhanced GFP, which were both under the control of the AcMNPV polh promoter for expression, in Sf21 cells but lower levels in Sf9 and Hi5 cells compared with AcMNPV with an intact fp25k gene. This correlated with the polh mRNA levels detected in each cell line. The majority of Sf21 cells infected with fp25 mutants showed high polh promoter-mediated GFP expression levels. Two cell lines subcloned from Sf21 cells that were infected with fp25k mutants showed different GFP expression levels. Furthermore, a small proportion of Hi5 cells infected with fp25k mutants showed higher production of polyhedra and GFP expression than the rest, and the latter was not correlated with increased m.o.i. Therefore, these data suggest that AcMNPV polh promoter-mediated gene expression activities differ in the three cell lines and are influenced by different cells within the cell line.

An epithelial cell line, NPC/HK1, has recently been established from a biopsy specimen of a recurrent tumour of the nasopharynx which was histologically diagnosed as a moderately to well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. A definite decrease in the amount of tonofilaments and desmosomes in the NPC/HK1 cells during the cell line establishment was observed. The present communication reports on the fine structures of the NPC/HK1 cells heterotraneplanted in athymic nude mice.

Bewo Cell Line

Growth of cell system (BeWo-cell line) derived from human gestational choriocarcinoma has been established and continuously maintained in-vitro. Furthermore, it is evident from the previous studies that this cell line has retained the physiological function of the placental trophoblasts, namely the synthesis of human chorionic gonadotrophil(HCG).The BeWo cells were relatively small and possessed single nuclei, thus indicating that this cell line consists exclusively of cytotrophoblasts. In some instances cells appeared widely separated and their lateral surfaces were provided with numerous microvilli (Fig.1).

A Cell

A cell line, UC1-B, which was derived from Balb/3T3 cells, maintains the same morphological characteristics of the non-transformed parental culture, and shows no evidence of spontaneous virus production. Survey by electron microscopy shows that the cell line consists of spindle-shaped cells with no unusual features and no endogenous virus particles.UC1-B cells respond to Moloney leukemia virus (MLV) infection by a change in morphology and growth pattern which is typical of cells transformed by sarcoma virus. Electron microscopy shows that the cells are now variable in shape (rounded, rhomboid, and spindle), and each cell type has some microvilli. Virtually all (90%) of the cells show virus particles developing at the cell surface and within the cytoplasm. Maturing viruses, typical of the oncogenic viruses, are found along with atypical tubular forms in the same cell.
