Abstract

TWENTY-SEVEN years after Trager1 reported short term survival and growth of silkworm cells from dissected female gonads, Grace successfully established continuous insect cell lines in vitro from ovarian tissues excised from diapausing pupae of _Antheraea eucalypti_2. The various attempts, during the interim, to improve in vitro growth of insect cells have been critically reviewed3–5.
