ATCC VERO C1008; Kidney; African Green Monkey (Chlorocebus aethiops) Grivet
Supplier: ATCC CRL1586

VERO C1008 [Vero 76, clone E6, Vero E6] is a cell line exhibiting epithelial morphology that was isolated from the kidney of an African green monkey. This line is a clone of VERO 76 (ATCC CRL-1587). It was cloned by the dilution method into microtiter plates in 1979 by P.J. Price. When infected with the hemorrhagic fever viruses [Machupo (Bolivian), Junin (Argentinian), Lassa (African)], Marburg or Ebola viruses, these cells exhibit cytopathic effects. Plaques are also produced. VERO C1008 exhibits some degree of contact inhibition after forming a monolayer and is therefore useful in growing slow replicating viruses. This cell line can be used in toxicology research.
