The WI-38 cell line stemmed from earlier work by Hayflick growing human cell cultures. [2]In the early 1960s, Hayflick and his colleague Paul Moorhead at the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania discovered that when normal human cells were stored in a freezer, the cells remembered the doubling level at which they were stored and, when reconstituted, began to divide from that level to ...
[11] [13] [14] Descendants of the fibroblast cells from these fetuses have been growing in labs ever since, as the WI-38 and MRC-5 cell lines. They are still used to grow vaccine viruses today. [15] [1] As of March 2017, billions of vaccines have been given that were made using the WI-38 line alone. [16]
MRC-5 (Medical Research Council cell strain 5) is a diploid cell culture line composed of fibroblasts, ... WI-38; References External links. Cellosaurus entry for MRC ...
To produce viral vaccines, candidate vaccine viruses are grown in mammalian, avian or insect tissue culture of cells with a finite lifespan. [5] These cells are typically Madin-Darby Canine Kidney cells, [6] but others are also used including monkey cell lines pMK and Vero and human cell lines HEK 293, MRC 5, Per.C6, PMK, and WI-38. [7]
Vaccine Excipients Adenovirus vaccine: This list refers to the type 4 and type 7 adenovirus vaccine tablets licensed in the US: Acetone, alcohol, anhydrous lactose, castor oil, cellulose acetate phthalate, dextrose, D-fructose, D-mannose, FD&C Yellow #6 aluminium lake dye, fetal bovine serum, human serum albumin, magnesium stearate, micro crystalline cellulose, plasdone C, Polacrilin potassium ...
The image of Mrc-5 cells is a high magnification of virions inside intracellular structures in TEM, they may or may not be related to Mrc-5 cells, it is impossible to say. In any case, this image does not display Mrc-5 and should be replaced by a more appropriate one. 213.33.126.84 14:28, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

The WI-38 cell strain he developed at the Institute with Paul S. Moorhead, Ph.D., became the substrate for the production of many human virus vaccines.
