Lineages
- Vero"(ATCC No. CCL-81)
- Isolated from C. aethiops kidney on 27 Mar 1962.
- Vero 76 (ATCC No. CRL-1587)
- Isolated from Vero in 1968. It grows to a lower saturation density (cells per unit area) than the original Vero. It is useful for detecting and counting hemorrhagic fever viruses by plaque assays.
- Vero E6, also known as Vero C1008 (ATCC No. CRL-1586)
- This line is a clone from Vero 76. Vero E6 cells show some contact inhibition so are suitable for propagating viruses that replicate slowly.
- Research strains transfected with viral genes:
- Vero F6 is a cell transfected with the gene encoding HHV-1 entry protein glycoprotein-H (gH). Vero F6 was transfected via a concatenated plasmid with the gH gene after a copy of the HHV-1 glycoprotein-D (gD) promoter region. In Vero lineage F6, expression of gH is under the control of the promoter region of gD. (Also F6B2; obs. F6B1.1)
