No changes in expression were seen from early passages, up to passage 40. These cells are suitable for study of teleost fish and the role endothelium has in physiological and pathological conditions. It is also suitable for the study of the effect viruses have on endothelial cells due to its susceptibility to VHSV. Evaluation of immune gene expression by real time PCR.
