What Does CEF Stand For?
CEF stands for Chick Embryo Fibroblast
Chick Embryo Fibroblast (CEF) refers to a type of cell culture derived from the fibroblasts of chick embryos, commonly used in scientific research. CEF cells are notable for their ability to support the growth and replication of various viruses, making them valuable in virology, vaccine development, and cell biology studies. Their characteristics, including rapid growth and ease of cultivation, make them an important model system for investigating cellular processes and pathogen interactions.
