Abstract

A series of cell lines unique in insect virus susceptibility pattern have been isolated from the ovaries of the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar: Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) on a synthetic medium with mammalian and avian serum supplementation. Growth curves showed the poorest growth occurring on peptone-based media with somewhat better growth on amino-acid-based media. The best growth was obtained with combined media. Serological study distinguished the present cell lines from one another and from cell lines derived from other insect species grown routinely in the same laboratory. Baculovirus susceptibility among the new lines varied from no response to a specific complete replication response upon challenge by the homologous (gypsy moth) nuclear polyhedrosis virus.
