An established cell line can be called where it has been subcultured at least

  • A.70 times at an interval of 3 days between subcultures
  • B.40 times at an interval of 3 days between subcultures
  • C.70 times at an interval of 1 day between subcultures
  • D.
    50 times at an interval of 3 days between subcultures

Answer: A

Correct answer: 70 times at an interval of 3 days between subcultures

The working definition of an established line is one subcultured about 70 times at three-day intervals - long past the fifty or so divisions at which a normal human cell reaches senescence. Surviving that many passages is the practical evidence that the line has become continuous.
