Sf21 insect cells

Description: Sf21 cells were isolated from pupal ovarian tissue of Spodoptera frugiperda (Fall Armyworm) by Vaughn et al. (1977). The S21 cells are adapted to growth in serum-contained medium, such as TC100 supplemented with 10% FBS. The cells can be used as a monolayer for transfection and production of recombinant baculovirus or for the propagation of baculovirus stocks. This product, however, is highly recommended for titration of AcMNPV in plaque assays. The S21 cells can be cultured as monolayer cultures in T-flasks and/or in stirred cultures in flasks. Frozen cells can be thawed and used directly in suspension culture or as a monolayer culture.
