Abstract: Some factors effecting in vitro primary culture of larval fat body cells of the Asian longhorned beetle (Anopolphora glabripennis) were evaluated in the paper. The results showed that the insect stages, size and integrality of the fat body tissue, character of culture surface and whether the cultured tissues attaching to the culture surface were important for the success of the primary culture. Under the optimized conditions, which were in combination with higher larval stages (4th or 8th instar), more intact cultured tissue and close attachment of the cultured tissue and the culture surface, the fat body cells were inclined to separate from the cultured tissues and proliferate.
