Comments: Anecdotal: Have been flown in space on Skylab-3 to study growth in microgravity (PubMed=352912)., Anecdotal: Leonard Hayflick when numbering diploid cell strains 'jumped' directly from WI-27 (which failed) to WI-38 (CelloPub=CLPUB00391)., Senescence: Life expectancy of 50 +- 10 population doublings. Senesces at 38 PDL (PubMed=17395773)., Characteristics: Used in many context such as senescence and aging studies., Biotechnology: Was used in the early 1970's for the production of the Human Diploid Cell Vaccine (HDCV) vaccine against rabies by Institut Merieux., Biotechnology: Used for the production of live oral adenovirus type 4 and type 7 vaccine used by the US military. Produced first by Wyeth Laboratories from 1971 to 1999 and from 2011 onward by Barr Pharmaceuticals., Biotechnology: Used for the production of RA27/3 - the first rubella virus vaccine., Population: Caucasian; Swedish., Part of: Naval Biosciences Laboratory (NBL) collection (transferred to ATCC in 1982)., Group: Vaccine production cell line., Group: Space-flown cell line (cellonaut).
