A culture medium for avian embryonic cells and an avian cell culture medium is disclosed. The culture medium is characterized in that it has elements complementary to avian embryonic cells. The complementary elements include insulin-like growth factors and stem cell growth factors. The medium is substantially free of active retinoic acid. A method of culturing avian embryonic cells and the resulting products are disclosed.

Active retinoic acid-free culture medium for avian totipotent embryonic stem cells

The invention features non-transformant immortal avian cells, in particular derived from avian tissues, i.e., other than blood or hematopoietic cells, particularly fibroblasts and epithelial cells, for instance of embryos. The avian cells are immortalized by the SV40 T+t gene in the dependence of the MTI promoter. In particular they integrate the pDAMT vector.

Immortalized avian cell lines

The invention features apoptosis-resistant, non-transformant immortalised avian cells, in particular, avian tissues, i.e., other than blood or haematopoietic cells, particularly fibroblasts and epithelial cells, for instance embryos.

Producing viruses utilizing immortal avian cells

The invention features non-transformant immortal avian cells, in particular derived from avian tissues, i.e. other than blood or haemotopoietic cells, particularly fibroblasts and epithelial cells, for instance of embryos. The avian cells are immortalized by the SV40 T&plus;t gene in the dependence of the MTI promoter. In particular they integrate the pDAMT vector.
