Abstract
The current teachings are directed to novel virus free cells lines derived from virus-contaminated staring material, such as an organism or a cell line. Methods for obtaining virus free cell lines obtained from virus-contaminated starting material are also provided. Exemplary virus free cell lines include: novel cell lines derived from a Spodoptera frugiperda cell line contaminated with Sf-rhabdovirus, wherein the novel cell lines lack Sf-rhabdovirus; and novel cell lines derived from a Trichoplusia ni cell line contaminated with an alphanodavirus, wherein the novel cell line lacks an alphanodavirus.
Claims13
A cell line derived from a Sf-rhabdovirus-contaminated Spodoptera frugiperda organism or from a Sf-rhabdovirus-contaminated Spodoptera frugiperda cell line, the cell line characterized by a lack of virus, wherein the cell line is structurally different from the Sf-rhabdovirus-contaminated Spodoptera frugiperda organism or the Sf-rhabdovirus-contaminated Spodoptera frugiperda cell line.
