โฆ Synopsis
The primary development in large-scale insect cell culture over the past year has been the continuing accumulation of documented evidence (fundamental and applied) that conventional aerated stirred-tank and air-lift bioreactors may be employed for insect cell cultivation and recombinant protein production, provided that air sparging, agitation, and the addition to the medium of Pluronic F-68 and methyl cellulose polymers are carefully controlled.

Animal cell cultures are used to generate products of enormous biotechnological value. These systems rely on conventional manufacturing techniques using organisms that are the result of either cell fusions or genetic engineering. A wealth of new techniques has allowed improvements and developments t
Significant advances have been made over the past year in our understanding of the protective mechanisms, both fluid-mechanical and biological, of media additives on suspended animal cells. The degree of protection offered by different additives, such as pluronic polyol, appears to be cell-type depe
Traditional barriers to large-scale mammalian culture have now been addressed, with the standard stirred-tank reactor emerging as industry's technology of choice. The issues of adapting cells to suspension culture, shear sensitivity and oxygen supply have been largely resolved. But for many low-volu
