| Abstract |
Several continuous cell lines have been developed at the Forest Pest
Management Institute (FPMI) from the tissues of major forest insect pests
to facilitate the in vitro investigations of insect pathogens. These cell
lines originated from the spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana), the
forest tent caterpillar (Malacosoma disstria), the red-headed pine sawfly
(Neodiprion lecontei), and the white-marked tussock moth (Orgyia
leucostigma). Isozyme analyses were performed to confirm the identity of
the new cell lines. Results of these analyses are presented here.
