Cell Line Origin
Fish bluegill fry
Cell Line Description
The cell line BF-2 has been derived from a trypsinised suspension of pooled caudal portions of the trunk of 1 year old fingerlings (Bluegill fry, Lepomis macrochirus). Cells have been reported to be susceptible to a variety of fish viruses including viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV), infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV), spring viraemia of carp virus (SVCV) and pike fry rhabdovirus (PFRV).
Application
Fish virus studies
Culture Medium
EMEM(HBSS) (M5775) or EMEM (EBSS) (M2279) + 2mM L-Glutamine (G7513) + 850 mg/L Sodium Bicarbonate(NaHCO3) (S8761) + 1% Non Essential Amino Acids(NEAA) (M7145) + 120 mg/l Sodium Pyruvate(NaP) (S8636) + 10% FBS / FCS (F2442); a mixture of MEM (HBSS) and MEM (EBSS) with 1-2% FBS is best for stability of monolayer and maintenance medium
Subculture Routine
Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:4 to 1:6 using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; cells replicate at 15 - 33°C, optimal temperature is 23 - 26°C; monolayer is stable for at least 10 days in maintenance medium (at 15 or 16°C for about 21 days). Fish c
