Abstract: | Summary An undefined, serum-free medium was developed for use with fish cell cultures. Lactalbumin hydrolyzate, trypticase-soy broth,
Bacto-peptone, dextrose, yeastolate, and polyvinylpyrrolidone were initially combined in 100 ml of distilled H2O, autoclaved, and added to 5% of the final volume of Medium 199. In addition, filter sterilized bovine pancreatic insulin,
glutamine, and nonessential amino acids were added to the medium. The addition of insulin was observed to be unnecessary.
Five fish cell lines goldfish-derived CAR cells, fathead minnow (FHM) cells, epithelioma papillosum cyprini (EPC) cells,
chinook salmon embryo (CHSE-214) cells, and a new cell line from goldfish air bladders (ABIII)] were all capable of growth
in the serum-free medium at rates equivalent to cells grown in fetal bovine serum (FBS). The morphology of all cell lines,
except CHSE-214 cells, was identical to cells grown in FBS. All cell lines were capable of long-term growth in the serum-free
medium. The CAR, ABIII, EPC, and CHSE-214 cells in the serum-free medium supported the replication of goldfish virus-2 at
levels equivalent to cells grown in FBS. |
