Establishment and characterisation of cell lines from the caerulean damsel, Pomacentrus caeruleus
Cell lines and primary cell cultures from fish tissues have been used for
research in disease diagnosis and cytotoxicity evaluation of environmental
pollutants. The principal aim of this work was the development of continuous
cell lines from the caerulean damsel, Pomacentus caeruleus. To achieve this,
tissues were first sourced from donor fishes, devoid of contaminants using
standardised disinfection protocols. Primary cultures were then initiated and
suitable media, additives, dissociation reagents as well as optimum incubation
temperature were determined. Successful primary cultures were subcultured
and passaged to derive continuous cell lines which were cryopreserved for
long term storage. The continuous cell lines established were characterised by
immunotyping using cell type markers and authenticated to confirm the
species of origin using previously established barcoding techniques.
Preliminary applications such as gene transfection studies and cytotoxicity
assays using bacterial extracellular products were done in addition to ensuring
that the cultures and cryostocks were contamination-free

dissociation were attempted for the establishment of
primary cell cultures from the caerulean damsel, Pomacentrus
caeruleus. Among the tissues taken, fin, liver and
caudal peduncle showed good attachment with emergence
of cells. The cells were best suited to grow in LeibovitzтАЩs
L-15 basal medium supplemented with foetal bovine serum
(initially 20 % which was later reduced to 5тАУ10 % during
subsequent passages) at an ambient temperature of
28 ┬▒ 2 я┐╜C and pH 7.2 ┬▒ 0.2. These cultures persisted at
temperatures from 17 to 32 я┐╜C, and proliferated at temperatures
from 24 to 30 я┐╜C. The cells have been cryopreserved
successfully with a survival rate of 80 %. Results
suggest that fin, caudal peduncle and liver cell cultures
have potential for development into cell lines.Not Availabl
