Medicines from Animal Cell Culture focuses on the use
of animal cell culture, which has been used to produce human and
veterinary vaccines, interferon, monoclonal antibodies and
genetically engineered products such as t PA and erythropoietin. It
also addresses the recent dramatic expansion in cell-based
therapies, including the use of live cells for tissue regeneration
and the culture of stem cells.
Medicines from Animal Cell Culture:
* Provides comprehensive descriptions of methods for cell culture
and nutrition as well as the technologies for the preservation and
characterisation of both the cells and the derived products
* Describes the preparation of stem cells and others for use in
cell-based therapies – an area of burgeoning research
* Includes experimental examples to indicate expected
results
* Covers regulatory issues from the UK, the EU and the USA and
reviews how these are developing around the world
* Addresses the key issues of standardisation and validation with
chapters on GLP and GMP for cell culture processes
Delivering insight into the exciting world of biological
medicines and directions for further investigation into specific
topics, Medicines from Animal Cell Culture is an
essential resource for researchers and technicians at all levels
using cell culture within the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and
biomedical industries. It is of value to laboratory managers in
these industries and to all those interested in this topic
alike.
