Animal Cell Culture And Technology (PB)

Animal cell culture is an essential laboratory technique for the study of biochemical and physiological processes that take place inside the cells. In this book, the essential background information is provided to enable animal cell cultures to be established.

Animal cell technology has become an important area because mammalian cell cultures have become the systems of choice for large-scale production of desired proteins, mainly in healthcare. In the Industrial Microbiology, this book may act as an easily readable introduction to animal cell culture and technology to undergraduates, graduates, technicians, and experienced industrial researchers who are about to start projects or courses involving the use of cell culture. The explanations are kept basic, so that the minimal amount of background knowledge is assumed. In this way, it is hoped that even those students with little background in the biological sciences may find this information useful.
