PK-15 Porcine Kidney Cell Line

Introduction

The PK-15 Porcine Kidney Cell Line was established by Stice E. in 1955. It is a clonal derivative of the PK-1a cell line. Electron microscopy has revealed the presence of C-type viral particles within PK-15 cells, making them a valuable material for the study of C-type viruses.

OriCell™ PK-15 Porcine Kidney Cell Line is commonly used to study the propagation and characteristics of various viruses, including Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV), Transmissible Gastroenteritis Virus (TGEV), and other related porcine pathogens.

OriCell™ PK-15 Porcine Kidney Cell Line has undergone rigorous quality control to ensure it is free from bacterial, fungal, and mycoplasma contamination. Long-term in vitro culture data have demonstrated that this cell line maintains stable passaging, providing a reliable and reproducible experimental foundation for scientific research.
