The invention refers to a process for the production of a continuous cell line of simile embryo stem cells, such as Amblyomma sculptum (Acari: Ixodidae), known as line IBU/ASE-16 (access number with CNCM: I-5000) and its uses. More specifically, the invention refers to a process for the production of the line IBU/ASE-16 and their use for obtaining extracts for the production of vaccines and candidate recombinant proteins for biopharmaceuticals and acaricides, production of diagnostic kits for the detection of antigens and/or antibodies for animal and human use, obtaining clones for use in genotyping and use as a substrate for the isolation and culture of pathogens.
