General description:
A number of modifications of Grace′s medium were developed in several laboratories in the late 1960′s and 1970′s. Many of these modifications were developed by Dr. W.F. Hink for the growth of cells derived from the cabbage looper, Tricoplusia ni. This formula represents the modification known as TNM-FH. The medium when properly supplemented has been found to support the growth of cells derived from a variety of lepidopteran species.
