Animal Cell Culture

This book is designed specifically to provide powerful research opportunities for those interested in perusing work in large scale production of stem cells for clinical application. The book is specially formatted so that it is a source on stem cell biology and therapeutic application, but also a good foundation for understanding basic regenerative medicine. Animal cells are the preferred "cell factories" for the production of complex molecules and antibodies for use as prophylactics, therapeutics or diagnostics. Cells from animals are required for the correct post-translationsl processing (including glycosylation) of biopharmaceutical protein products. They are used for the cardiovascular and CNS diseases and cystic fibrosis. Animal cells are used as in vitro substrates in pharmacological and toxicological studies. This book serves as a comprehensive review of animal cell culture, covering the current status of both research and applications. The protocols are central to the performance of cell culture work, yet a borad understanding is essential for translation of laboratory findings into the industrial production. Within the broad scope of the book, each topic is reviewed authoritatively by experts in the field to produce state-of-the-art collection of current research. A major reference volume on cell culture research and how it impacts on production of biopharmaceutical proteins worldwide, the book is essential reading for everyone working in cell culture.
