Monkey Tumor Cells
Models of monkey tumors and altered cells are extensively employed in the fields of virology, vaccine development, cancer and translational biomedical research. Based on their ability to grow steadily, be transfected easily, and be susceptible to a wide range of pathogens, monkey-derived cell lines are now necessary for both academic and applied life science research.
Our collection of monkey tumor cells includes famous models such as B95-8, COS-1, LLC-MK2, MA104, BS-C-1 and VERO 76. These cell lines can be used for virus propagation, vaccine development, gene expression studies, cytopathic effect assessment, medication screening and host-pathogen interaction studies.

FAQ
Why are monkey-derived cell lines widely used in biomedical research?
Monkey cell lines are very useful because they support the growth of many viruses, grow stably, and are compatible with many molecular and cellular biology procedures. Their qualities are key instruments in virology, vaccine manufacturing and translational research.
What makes VERO-derived cell lines important in virology?
VERO-derived cell lines are highly permissive to many viruses and are widely used for viral isolation, propagation, and vaccine-related studies. Their stable growth and reproducibility have made them standard tools in virology laboratories worldwide.
Are monkey cell lines suitable for transfection and recombinant expression studies?
Yep. Cell lines like COS-1 are extensively utilised for transient transfection and recombinant protein expression due to their high transfection efficiency and robust cellular activity.
Are the cells tested for quality and contamination?
Yes. Our monkey tumor and transformed cell lines undergo routine quality control procedures, including mycoplasma testing, to help ensure reliable experimental performance and reproducibility.
How are monkey tumor cells shipped and stored?
Cells are supplied as cryopreserved cultures and shipped on dry ice. For optimal long-term preservation, storage in liquid nitrogen is recommended upon receipt.
