Animal Cell Biotechnology constitutes a comprehensive manual of state-of-the-art techniques for setting up a cell culture laboratory, maintaining cell lines, and optimizing critical parameters for cell culture. The high cost of growing mammalian cells on a large scale does not necessarily prohibit their use for biotechnology, and indeed there is considerable evidence to suggest that animal cell biotechnology will continue to be a major growth area in the future. Mammalian cell culture has been an important technique in laboratory-scale experimentation for many decades. Developments in large-scale culture have been due to the need to grow large numbers of cells to support the growth of viruses for vaccine production, and more recently, for growing hybridoma cells as a source of monoclonal antibody. The publication is timely in view of the impressive development of the methods and techniques with their application to understanding the subject.
