| Main themes |
The major types of animal and plant cell cultures will be described. The importance of the culture medium content and of the growth parameters, as well as scaling-up problems will be presented. Applications in the biomedical and biotechnological fields will be illustrated.
|
| Aims |
This course aims at introducing the students to the principles and general methods of animal and cell cultures, highlighting the industrial perspectives as well as the biological and technological constraints.
|
| Content |
Animal (mammalian and insect) cells: properties, adhering and non-adhering cells, culture medium, serum-free medium, effect of physical parameters (scaling up). Example of production of proteins; hybridoma and monoclonal antibodies. Plant cells: culture of cells, tissues and organs, culture medium, example of production of secondary metabolites and proteins.
