Origin:
BSC40 is a high-temperature tolerant derivative of BS-C-1 established by Brockman and Nathans. BSC40 cells may be grown at temperature from 31 to 40°C. The cells are useful for selection and assay of temperature sensitive viruses. They support the growth of vaccinia virus, and can be used as a host for vaccinia virus genetic studies.
