Abstract A stable, rapidly multiplying cell line, even in a medium with a simplified composition, was obtained from the pupal ovaries of Lepidoptera Lymantria dispar L. The "fibroblast" type cells, which are partially floating in the medium, were found to be susceptible to various baculoviruses, entomopoxvirus and iridovirus. The cell line is already widely used in experimental pathology.
Cell lines CVCL_Z262; SPC-Ld-135
