Cell Name: Vero

The Vero cell line was initiated from the kidney of a normal adult African green monkey on March 27, 1962, by Y. Yasumura and Y. Kawakita at the Chiba University in Chiba, Japan. The cell line was brought to the Laboratory of Tropical Virology, National.

  • Description
    Vero cell line is derived from the kidney of the African green monkey (Cercopithecus Aethiops). These cells exhibit an epithelial-like morphology and grow in a monolayer, displaying anchorage-dependent growth in vitro. A key feature of Vero cells is their defective type I interferon response—they lack functional interferon-alpha (IFN-α) and interferon-beta (IFN-β) genes due to a chromosomal deletion.Vero cells have a pseudodiploid karyotype with known chromosomal abnormalities, including the deletion of the type I interferon gene cluster on chromosome 12. This deficiency makes them highly susceptible to viral infections, as they cannot mount a robust innate immune defense against viruses . Consequently, Vero cells are extensively used for viral propagation, including the cultivation of polio, rabies, influenza, and SARS-CoV-2 viruses. Vero cells are non-tumorigenic in vivo but exhibit continuous proliferation in vitro, making them suitable for long-term viral production.
