Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
Vero-SF-ACF cell line was derived from the parental Vero cell line (ATCC CCL-81) by adaptation to serum-free and animal component-free medium.
The parental Vero cell line has been shown to be susceptible to infection by: poliovirus 1, 2, 3; Getah; Ndumu; Pixuna; Ross River; Semliki Forest; Paramaribo; Kokobera; Modoc; Murutucu; Germiston; Guaroa; Pongola; Tacaribe; SV-5; SV40; rubeola; rubellavirus; reovirus 1, 2, 3; and simian adenoviruses.
The parental Vero cell line has been show to be resistant to infection by the following viruses: Stratford; Apeu; Caraparu; Madrid; Nepuyo; Ossa
These cells may be grown in VP-SFM (Cat. No. 11681-020, Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Volumes used in this protocol are for a 75 cm2 flask; proportionally reduce or increase amount of dissociation medium for culture vessels of other sizes.
Subcultivation Ratio: 1.3 to 1:6
Serum-Free Cell Freezing Medium (ATCC 30-2600)
