1. Animal cells for mass culture
1.1 Cell lines
The first industrial applications of animal cell culture processes date back to the middle of the last century, and involved the production of vaccines. While chicken embryos were still used for some vaccines, alternative cell-based methods quickly became established. Primary cells, derived directly from the digestion of new tissues, retain their differentiation properties close to those of the original organ. However, their cumbersome preparation, limited lifespan, fragility in...
