It is the process by which either prokaryotic or
eukaryotic cells are grown under controlled conditions. In
practice the term cell culture has come to refer to the
culturing of cells derived from multicellular eukaryotes,
especially animal cells. The historical development and
methods of cell culture are closely interrelated to those of
tissue culture and organ culture.
Applications: It is fundamental to the manufacture
of viral vaccines and many products of biotechnology.
Biologicals produced by recombinant DNA (rDNA)
technology in animal cell cultures include enzymes,
hormones, immunobiologicals (monoclonal antibodies,
interleukins, lymphokines), and anticancer agents.
Vaccines for polio, measles, mumps, rubella, and
chickenpox are currently made in cell cultures.
