| Application | FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY The WI-38 cell line has played a pioneering role as the first human cell strain employed in the production of licensed human virus vaccines, contributing significantly to the development of vaccines against a spectrum of diseases such as poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella (chicken pox), herpes zoster, adenovirus, rabies, and Hepatitis A. Moreover, it continues to be a valuable resource for ongoing research aimed at investigating novel vaccination strategies and virus eradication efforts. Beyond its vaccine production utility, WI-38 serves as an apt transfection host and a vital tool for viruscide testing, further underscoring its versatile applications in virology and medical research. |

The WI-38 cell line, originating from the lung tissue of a 3-month-old female embryo, is a human diploid cell culture characterized by its fibroblast morphology. These cells exhibit a finite lifespan, typically undergoing approximately 50 plus or minus 10 population doublings with a doubling time of 24 hours. Notably, their growth can be augmented by the addition of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) to the culture medium. Of significant importance, WI-38 stands as an indispensable workhorse within the pharmaceutical industry, extensively harnessed for the production of a diverse range of vaccines, encompassing adenovirus, hepatitis, herpes zoster, measles, mumps, rabies, rubella, and varicella.- ONLINE INQUIRY
