VERO Cell Line

Vero cells are anchorage-dependent cells and have wide applications in molecular and cell biology research. Vero cells have a pseudo-diploid karyotype and are preferred cell lines for the propagation of various viruses, including poliovirus, rotavirus influenza and rabies virus. These cells are useful hosts for vaccine production.

Monkey African Green kidney

Established from the kidney of a normal adult African Green monkey. Susceptible to a wide range of viruses including polio, rubella, arboviruses and reoviruses.

VERO cell lines have been used:

• in the propagation of Chandipura virus (CHPV)
• in the cytotoxicity assay to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-viral activities of Capsicum annuum methanolic extracts
• for the propagation of T.cruzi

Virus studies: polio, rubella, arboviruses and reoviruses

Split sub-confluent cultures (70-80%) 1:3 to 1:6 i.e. seeding at 1-3x10,000 cells/cm² using 0.25% trypsin or trypsin/EDTA; 5% CO₂; 37 °C.
