Cell Line Name
EasyCeL-MRC-5
Keywords
EasyCeL Tube Format: Human foetal lung
Cell Line Description
Growing MRC-5 cells are supplied in cell culture tubes ready for use in clinical virology for the detection and isolation of viruses in clinical samples. Contact ECACC for more information about the EasyCeL format. Established from normal lung tissue of a 14 week old male foetus. The cells undergo between 60-70 population doublings before senescence. The virus susceptibility of this line to human viruses is similar to WI-38.

The ECACC collections represent deposits of cell cultures from world-wide sources. While every effort is made to ensure details distributed by ECACC are accurate, ECACC cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies in the data supplied. References where quoted are mainly attributed to the establishment of the cell culture and not for any specific property of the cell line, therefore further references should be obtained regarding cell culture characteristics. Passage numbers where given act only as a guide and ECACC does not guarantee the passage number stated will be the passage number received by the customer. Cell lines supplied by ECACC are for research purposes only. Enquiries regarding the commercial use of a cell line are referred to the depositor of the cell line. Some cell lines have additional special release conditions such as the requirement for a material transfer agreement to be completed by the potential recipient prior to the supply of the cell line. Please view the ECACC Terms & Conditions of Supply for more information.
