Animal Cell Culture Technology University of Tsukuba

Course Overview

Lectures cover basic knowledge about animal cell culture(cell cycle, growth factors, extra-cellular matrixes, cancer cells) as well as application of cultured animal cells(hybrid artificial organ, production of monoclonal antibodies, alternative for experimental animals). Lectures also provides basic information about biotechnological approached for setting up animal cell bioreactors.
