Media for Cultivation of Animal Cells: An Overview

  • Chapter
Book cover Animal Cell Culture and Production of Biologicals

Abstract

The increasing interest in products from animal cells has caused an extensive research effort toward development of media for cell cultivation. The basic components in the media used for cultivation of animal cells vary depending upon the characters of the cells and the cultivation method. Basic components consist of an energy source, nitrogen source, vitamins, fats and fatty soluble components, inorganic salts, nucleic acid precursors, antibiotics, oxygen, pH buffering systems, hormones, growth factors and serum. Extensive efforts are directed towards developing serum-free media: Low-protein media or chemically defined media. Several approaches in developing serum-fre media were reported. These are described in detail in this review.
