Derivation
VERO 76 was derived in 1968 by K.M. Johnson and brought to Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Atlanta, GA. It is a derivative of the original VERO.
Comments
When infected with hemorrhagic fever viruses [Machupo (Bolivian), Junin (Argentinian), Lassa (African)], Marburg or Ebola viruses, these cells exhibited cytopathic effects. Plaques are also produced. VERO 76 has a lower saturation density than the original VERO (ATCC CCL-81).
Complete Growth Medium The base medium for this cell line is ATCC-formulated Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium, Catalog No. 30-2002. To make the complete growth medium, add the following components to the base medium: fetal bovine serum to a final concentration of 10%.
Subculturing
Remove medium, and rinse with 0.25% trypsin, 0.53 mM EDTA solution. Remove the solution and add an additional 1 to 2 mL of trypsin-EDTA solution. Allow the flask to sit at room temperature (or at 37°C) until the cells detach. Add fresh culture medium, aspirate and dispense into new culture flasks.
Subcultivation Ratio: A subcultivation ratio of 1:8 is recommended
Medium Renewal: 2 to 3 times per week
Cryopreservation
Freeze medium: Complete growth medium 95%; DMSO, 5%
Storage temperature: liquid nitrogen vapor temperature
Culture Conditions
Temperature: 37°C
Name of Depositor EM Earley
Deposited As Cercopithecus aethiops
