Significance of glycosidases and phosphatases in Cercopithecus and Macaca cells.
When selected ratios of different glycosidases and phosphatases from primary monkey kidney cells or from monkey kidney cell lines are presented graphically, characteristic patterns do evolve. Three different subtypes of Vero cells show similar glycosidase patterns. The Vero subtypes tested show glycosidase patterns that are closely similar to those of primary cells of Cercopithecus aethiops. Glycosidase patterns of BS-C-1 and CV-1 cells are less similar to those of primary Cercopithecus cells than are those of Vero cells. Primary kidney cells from Macaca cynomolgus show significantly different glycosidase patterns compared with those of different Cercopithecus cells. The distinct glycosidase patterns can be used to classify the tested cell lines in relation to each other.
