CELL LINE PRODUCTS

Eggs from selected pathogen-free white Leghorn chickens were used as starting mate­rial for the produc­tion of epithe­lial chicken cell lines. Cells were isolated from the intestinal tract (intes­tine and cecum) of 18-day-old embry­onic chickens and subse­quently subjected to a specific proce­dure of growth factor treat­ment and limiting dilu­tion cloning.

As result we succeeded in isolating more than 240 indige­nous, contin­u­ously growing clones, which – according to micro­scopic clas­si­fi­ca­tion – repre­sent at least 5 different morpho­types. a number of 12 clones were further char­ac­ter­ized with special regard to their epithe­lial char­acter using biochem­ical and immuno­log­ical methods. CHIC clone 8E11 is the most promi­nent representative.

Appli­ca­tions of the CHIC Clone cells

• Infec­tion and inhi­bi­tion (suscep­ti­bility) tests to Campy­lobacter and Salmo­nella strains
• Expres­sion of recom­bi­nant proteins upon trans­fec­tion / infection
• Produc­tion of viral parti­cles (e.g. influenza)
