Review: Animal cells are used both in industry and in research for a variety of applications, such as the production of monoclonal antibodies with hybridoma cells and proteins for diagnostic and therapeutic use with recombinant cells, production or viral vaccines. This book gives the state-of-the-art of new techniques for setting up mammalian cell lines for production of biopharmaceuticals, and for optimizing critical parameters for cell culture from lab to final production. It is divided into parts that reflect the processes required for different stages of production: basic techniques for establishing production cell lines; basic cultivation techniques; cell characterization and analysis; special cultivation techniques; downstream techniques; and special applications.
