Notizen:
The spent medium from ten established cell lines was extracted and tested for ecdysteroids by radioimmunoassay. Of the seven lepidopteran lines tested, only IAL-TNDI and MRRL-CH showed evidence of ecdysteroid production. However, the results were erratic and difficult to evaluate and these lines were dropped from further consideration. However, of the three cockroach cell lines tested, one, UMBGE 4, produces ecdysteroid and consistently releases virtually all of it into the medium. The main ecdysteroid was identified as ecdysone and the increase was logarithmic during the first 11 days of the subculture, with a decrease from day 11 to day 14.UMBGE 4 is a vesicle cell line which also tested positive for chitin synthesis. When the pH of the medium was lowered from pH 7.4 to pH 6.3, both the chitin synthesis and the ecdysone synthesis dropped by roughly 50%.
