Article Synopsis
- A controlled in vitro culture system for honey bee cells has been developed to study the effects of pathogens, pesticides, and nutritional deficiencies on honey bees.
- The system involves using honey bee eggs during their development, allowing scientists to establish primary cultures and later create a continuous cell line (AmE-711) that is primarily composed of fibroblast-type cells.
- This cell line has been characterized and shows promise for future research in areas like honey bee development, genetics, and toxicology.
