Domaine(s)
  • Microbiologie et parasitologie
CONT

Les cellules Vero offrent plusieurs avantages. Elles ne contiennent pas de virus contaminant, chose rare pour des cellules de singe. En culture, elles permettent de multiplier de nombreux virus humains. Ainsi, l'Institut Mérieux (Lyon) les utilise depuis 1984 pour la production du vaccin contre la polyomyélite.

OBS

Vero est un acronyme qui provient de la combinaison de «verda» (singe africain vert) et «reno» (rein) en espéranto, et qui signifie aussi «vérité».
