Abstract
Recent research concerning ecdysteroid-responsive and ecdysteroid-producing cell lines is reviewed. The advantages and limitations of cell lines of defined and undefined origin are considered with regard to their suitability for studies on molecular, physiological, morphological and developmental aspects of ecdysteroid action. The considerable potential for future studies involving insect cell lines is indicated.Keywords
