Abstract This study focused on how to initiate insect cell lines from primary culture using the fat bodies of Spodoptera exigua larvae as culture tissue. Factors influencing proliferation of new cells from the primary culture, how to deal with subculture, as well as impact of microorganism pollution or medium crystallization on the primary culture were investigated and discussed. The results showed that the treatment that ensured the cultured tissue fast adhere to the culture surface was very important for new cells proliferating from the tissue. In the all adhesion cultures there were 62% of the cultures observed cell proliferation. Those continuous proliferating and further covering the whole culture surface were of 33%. Finally, approximate 15% of the primary cultures were developed to continuous cell lines. The average time from initial training to the success of the first passage was 85 days. Pollution and crystallization of the primary culture were important causations of failure.
