Abstract
Three selected uncloned Pop 2, Pop 3, Pop 4 and two cloned cell lines Pop cl1A and Pop cl2B were derived from the original cell line established from Phthorimaea operculella (ORS-Pop-93). Three new non-selected cell lines ORS-Pop-94A, ORS-Pop-94B and ORS-Pop-95 were also established from embryos of the same insect. Differences in morphology, growth rate and polypeptide profile were determined between these cell lines. All the cell lines were susceptible to the Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV). The cloned cell lines produced higher levels of AcMNPV (TCID-50 and PIB) than the parental cells and at the same rate as the Sf9 reference cell line. Substantial amounts of viral DNA were synthesized in the clone Pop cl 2B after infection with the granulosis virus of the potato tuber moth P. operculella (PTMGV) and a complete multiplication was obtained in the ORS-Pop-95 cell line. The comparison between Pop cell lines which support limited or complete replication of certain baculoviruses can offer insights into some of the molecular barriers which restrict the host range of these viruses. These cell lines with variable susceptibility to baculoviruses could also be used for in vitro recombinations, increasing their virus host range to be used for the control of this pest.
