Vero African Green Monkey Kidney Cell Line

Introduction

The African green monkey kidney cell line (Vero) was established by Y. Yasumura and Y. Kawakita at Chiba University in Japan. It is derived from the kidney of a normal adult African green monkey. On June 15, 1964, when B. Simizu brought the Vero cells from Chiba University to the Laboratory of Tropical Virology at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID/NIH), the cells had reached the 93rd passage. The Vero cell line is widely used in the study of recombinant viruses and cytopathic effects (CPE).

OriCell™ Vero African Green Monkey Kidney Cell Line has undergone rigorous validation to ensure superior adherence and stable proliferation across passages. Beyond its consistent morphology, this cell line is characterized by a rapid doubling time and robust genetic integrity throughout extended culture. Most importantly, it maintains high viral susceptibility, making it an ideal host for demanding viral amplification and high-throughput antiviral screening. Our stringent quality control—guaranteed free from mycoplasma, bacteria, and fungi—ensures exceptional reproducibility and data integrity for your research.
