The cell line was subcultured more than 40 passages in minimum essential medium （MEM） supplemented with fetal bovine serum （FBS） and 10 ng ml4 basic fibroblast growth factor （bFGF）. Cell morphology from primary culture and subculture was observed continuously by microscopy. The SHK cell line consisted predominantly of fibroblast-like cells. The cell line was able to grow between 20℃ and 30℃ with the optimum growth at 24℃ and with a reduced growth between 12℃ and 20℃. The growth rate of the cells increased as the proportion of FBS increased from 10% to 20% at 28℃ with optimum growth at the concentration of 20%. The doubling time of the cells was determined to be 44.8 h. Chromosome analysis revealed that 52% of the SHK cells maintained a normal diploid chromosome number （2n=46）. The cells were successfully transfected with green fluorescent protein （GFP） reporter plasmids and the expression of GFP gene in the cells indicated the possible utility of the cells in gene expression studies. The cells were infected by lymphosystis disease virus （LCDV） and found to be susceptible to the virus in cytopathic effect （CPE） observation. The infection was confirmed by PCR and electron microscopy experiments, which proved the existence of the viral particles in the cytoplasm of the virus-infected cells.展开更多

Primarily cultured cells grew well at 22℃ in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium/F12 medium(DMEM/F12, 1:1; p H 7.2) supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum(FBS), carboxymethyl chitooligosaccharide, basic fibroblast growth factor(b FGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I(IGF-I). The primary BFO cells in fibroblastic morphology proliferated into a confluent monolayer about 2 weeks later, and were able to be subcultured. Impacts of medium and temperature on the growth of the cells were examined. The optimum growth was found in DMEM/F12 with 20% FBS and at 22℃. The BFO cells can be continuously subcultured to Passage 120 steadily with a population doubling time of 32.7 h at Passage 60. Chromosome analysis revealed that 72% of BFO cells at Passage 60 maintained the normal diploid chromosome number(46) with a normal karyotype of 2st+44t. The results of gene transformation indicated that green fluorescence protein(GFP) positively expressed in these cells after being transformed with pc DNA3.1-GFP. Therefore, a continuous and transformable BFO cell line was successfully established, which may serve as a useful tool for cytotechnological manipulation and transgenic modification of this fish.展开更多

Microsatellite markers are very suitable for assessing genetic diversity. Four microsatellite-enriched libraries of half smooth tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis) were constructed,from which 57 polymorphic microsatellites were isolated and characterized.The polymorphism of these microsatellites was assessed by genotyping in 30 individual fish.The number of alleles ranged from 2 to 11, with an average of 4.614 alleles per locus.The values of observed and expected heterozygosities ranged from 0.1000 to 1.0000 and from 0.0966 to 0.8847 respectively. Polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.0905 to 0.862.These markers would be useful for population structure assessment,genetic linkage map construction and parentage analysis for this species.展开更多
