Vero Cells
Vero cells are a type of African green monkey kidney cells that are widely used in cell culture, biotechnology, and medical research. They are particularly advantageous in terms of their stability and resistance to mechanical and chemical stress. Vero cells are used for in vitro viral propagation, gene expression research, and vaccine production, as well as for chemical toxicity testing and drug testing. They are also useful in terms of their ability to establish a long-term infection in a lab culture, their low immunogenicity, and their ability to be easily transfected or infected with a wide range of viruses.
