Summary
A cell line designated SP-1 was established from tissue of the silver perch,Bairdiella chrysura. Cells were fibroblast-like and grew best at 26°C in Leibovitz medium (L-15) containing 15% fetal bovine serum and 0.150m sodium chloride. Passage 1 to passage 9 SP-1 cells contained a chromosome number of 48; at passages 27 and 50 the modal numbers were 51 and 54, respectively. Confirmation of the origin of SP-1 cells was made by the cytotoxic antibody dye-exclusion test. This cell line supported the growth of lymphocystis virus from the silver perch but was not found to replicate various other fish and mammalian viruses.
