title: Chemically-defined media for production of insect cells and viruses in vitro.
abstract: Two chemically-defined media are described. They support the growth of a) an established cell line of Spodoptera frugiperda cells and b) two established mosquito cell lines from Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae. The replication of Autographa californica Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus (ACNPV) in S. frugiperda cells grown in a defined medium is reported.
