Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
The Aedes aegypti [ATC-10] cell line was established by K.R.P. Singh from a pool of several hundred freshly hatched larvae.
Arbovirus studies have shown that the Aedes aegypti [ATC-10] cells are susceptible to Chikungunga, West Nile and Chandipura viruses.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:2 to 1:3 is recommended
Medium Renewal: Twice per week
Note: For more information on enzymatic dissociation and subculturing of cell lines consult Chapter 13 in Culture Of Animal Cells: A Manual Of Basic Technique by R. Ian Freshney, 5th edition, published by Wiley-Liss, N.Y., 2005.
