Sf9 Cell Line from Spodoptera frugiperda pupal ovarian tissue

Sf9 cell line has been used for Baculovirus viral studies. It has also been used for in vitro kynurenine-3-monooxygenase (KMO) inhibition assay.

Derived from pupal ovarian tissue of spodoptera frugiperda. The cells are highly susceptible to Baculovirus infection and are used in the production of protein products genetically manipulated into Baculovirus vector systems.

Maintain cultures between 3x100,000 to 1x1,000,000 cells/ml; 27°C. Gently resuspend cells in old culture medium by dislodging the cells by pipetting, or gentle agitation, and resuspend in fresh medium. Cells should stick to the culture flask. Freeze in 9% DMSO/91% FBS. Cultures may take up to 10 days to recover normal growth characteristics following cryopreservation and resuscitation.

TC100 + 2mM Glutamine. (The medium can be supplemented with 10% Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) if required).
