The present invention belongs to the field of
biotechnology, and specifically relates to a duck
corneal epithelial cell suspension
cell line, its construction method, and application. The present invention is the first to isolate and obtain adult corneal epithelial cells from ducks and successfully suspend and domesticate them. The
cell line is named Duck Corneal Epithelial Suspension Cells (DCE-S) and was deposited in the China Center for Type Culture Collection at Wuhan University, Wuhan, China on June 28, 2024, with the deposit number CCTCC NO: C2024189. The
cell line is easy to culture, grows rapidly, can be stably passaged, and has a
high cell density of 6 to 8×10 6 cells / mL, exhibiting individually dispersed growth, plump morphology,
uniform size, and
high cell viability, making it suitable for serum-free
suspension culture in bioreactors. This cell line can be used to culture, isolate, and detect avian viruses, prepare avian vaccines, and screen for drugs used to prevent or treat diseases caused by avian viral infections.
