Cell line derived from Penaeus monodon and a method of growing virus using the same

Abstract

The present invention relates to the establishment of an immortal shrimp cell line (PMO) derived from Penaeus monodon. This cell line is susceptible to and capable of mass producing virus, which includes, but not limited to, white spot syndrome virus (WSSV), Panaeus monodon baculovirus (MBV), infectious hypodermal and hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHHNV), and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV). This invention also relates to the method of mass producing virus using PMO as a host.
