TL;DR: A continuous cell line was obtained of fat boclies which had been taken from a female larva of the common armysvorm, Leucania mparata, and designated as NIASLeSc-11, which was typical of lcpidopteran cell lincs and the chromesome numbers fluctuated widely.
Abstract: A continuous cell line was obtained frorn the cultUre of fat boclies which had been taken from a female larva of the common armysvorm, Leucania mparata, and designated as NIASLeSc-11. The cell linc consistecl primarily of spherical cells, The karyotype was typical of lcpidopteran cell lincs and the chromesome numbers fluctuated widely. Population doubling time was about 48 hr at 25eC. The cells could be stored at 50C lbr S months and at -700C for more than two ycars. They were susccptible to Autogropha calijbrnica nuclear polyhedrosis virus and C"ilo iridescent virus.
