Indian Muntjac (muntjac, skin, fibroblast)

SPECIES: muntjac
TISSUE/ORGAN: skin, fibroblast

ECACC catalog code: 90112813
Morphology: Fibroblast
Susceptibility to viruses: herpes simplex * vaccinia * vesic. stomatitis (Indiana)
Description: Muntjac skin
Viruses: See Properties
Depositor: Obtained from ATCC, USA
No restrictions. Patent: None Specified By Depositor
Properties: Applications: Chromosome studies

Available in the following LABORATORY:

Part of the Business Division of the Health Protection Agency (ECACC, Salisbury, Wiltshire)
Ham's F10 + 2mM Glutamine + 20% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Split confluent cultures 1:2 to 1:4 i.e. seeding at 2-4x10,000 cells/cm2 using 0.25% trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO2; 37C.
Passages: 10; Karyotype: 2n = 7
Derived from a skin biopsy of an adult male muntjac. The cells have a diploid chromosome number of 7 in the male and 6 in the female, amongst the lowest determined for a mammalian species. Recent tests indicate the cell line is positive for BVDV, both for antigen and infectious virus. Susceptible to vesicular stomatitis (Indiana strain), herpes simplex and vaccinia viruses.
Research council deposit: No; Price Code: C;
Validated by: isoenzymes (species confirmation)
