The cell line RIRI-PX1 was established from neonate larval tissues of Papilio xuthus by performing primary cultures in the modified Grace medium that was supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS). The cell line primarily consisted of spindle-shaped and spherical cells which attached themselves to the flask. The population-doubling times (PDTs) at the 50th and 60th passage were 42.5 h and 42.1 h respectively. The average chromosome numbers of RIRI-PX1 cell line from passage 5 to passage 50 ranged from 103 to 199. It was confirmed that RIRI-PX1 cell line was derived from P. xuthus by comparing the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI) of RIRI-PX1 cells and P. xuthus eggs. This cell line was susceptible to the Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcNPV) and produced high yield of polyhedral occlusion bodies (43.9OBs/cell) after 10 days of infection by AcNPV. The virus titer of AcNPV infected RIRI-PX1 cells was 3.25×10⁷ TCID₅₀/ml. We concluded that the RIRI-PX1 cell line is established from the neonate larvae tissues successfully and the cells of the cell line are sensitive to AcNPV.
细胞系 RIRI-PX1 是通过在改良的 Grace 培养基中进行原代培养,并用 20%胎牛血清(FBS)进行补充,从 Papilio xuthus 的新生儿幼虫组织中建立的。该细胞系主要由附着在瓶壁上的纺锤形和球形细胞组成。第 50 代和第 60 代的倍增时间(PDT)分别为 42.5 小时和 42.1 小时。RIRI-PX1 细胞系从第 5 代到第 50 代的平均染色体数从 103 到 199 不等。通过比较 RIRI-PX1 细胞和 P. xuthus 卵的线粒体细胞色素 c 氧化酶亚基 I 基因(COI),证实 RIRI-PX1 细胞系来源于 P. xuthus。该细胞系对美洲棉铃虫核多角体病毒(AcNPV)敏感,在感染 AcNPV 10 天后产生 43.9OBs/细胞的高产量多面体封闭体。感染 AcNPV 的 RIRI-PX1 细胞的病毒滴度为 3.25×10⁷ TCID₅₀/ml。我们得出结论,RIRI-PX1 细胞系是从新生儿幼虫组织中成功建立的,并且该细胞系的细胞对 AcNPV 敏感。
