Vero C1008 [Vero 76, clone E6, Vero E6]

Vero cells are derived from the kidney of an African green monkey. These are anchorage-dependent cells that have applications in molecular and cell biology research. Vero E6 cells enable achieving high titers of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV virus) and are also used in the cultivation of Rabies virus, Reovirus and Japanese encephalitis virus.
