Abstract |
In vitro establishment of embryonic cell lines of Drosophila melanogaster
is described. The enriched C15 medium was used for cell culture. The
population-doubling time was 24 h; it did not decrease after the 50
passages. Two sublines with female karyotypes were obtained: 1) diploid
subline 67j25D, containing 85-90 percent of diploids; 2) aneuploid subline
67j25A, containing 60-70 percent of aneuploids. After the prolonged
cultivation of aneuploid subline a shift of the modal class of aneuploids
was marked. For the growth of sublines the presence of bovine fetal serum
containing non-dialysed thermostable factor is essential. The addition of
pupae extract containing the thermolabile non-dialysed factor(s),
particularly at the early passages, is necessary for the active growth of
cells.
