Abstract: By using the tissue explantation technique, primary culture of cells derived from the liver, spleen, kidney, fin and heart tissue of Amur sturgeon, Acipenser schrencki Brandt, were conducted. In 2-3 days cells migrate out around tissues and in 10 days post culture cells outgrow to monolayer. Continuous cell lines from liver, spleen, kidney and heart tissues were established after subculture of primary cells with trypsin-EDTA digestion method. The optimized conditions for these cells are: minimum essential medium eagle抯 (MEME), 25 ℃ 20% fetal bovine serum. Cells were cryopreserved with preservative DMSO in liquid nitrogen and grew well after recovery. The establishment of cell lines derived from Amur sturgeon has provided important experimental materials for the research on sturgeon virosis and genetic resources conservation.
