Culture of Animal Cells: A Manual of Basic Technique and Specialized Applications
R. Ian FreshneySince the publication of the sixth edition of this benchmark text,
numerous advances in the field have been made – particularly in stem
cells, 3D culture, scale-up, STR profiling, and culture of specialized
cells. Culture of Animal Cells: A Manual of Basic Technique and Specialized Applications, Seventh Edition
is the updated version of this benchmark text, addressing these recent
developments in the field as well as the basic skills and protocols.
This
eagerly awaited edition reviews the increasing diversity of the
applications of cell culture and the proliferation of specialized
techniques, and provides an introduction to new subtopics in
mini-reviews. New features also include a new chapter on cell line
authentication with a review of the major issues and appropriate
protocols including DNA profiling and barcoding, as well as some new
specialized protocols. Because of the continuing expansion of cell
culture, and to keep the bulk of the book to a reasonable size, some
specialized protocols are presented as supplementary material online.
provides the most accessible and comprehensive introduction available
to the culture and experimental manipulation of animal cells. This text
is an indispensable resource for those in or entering the field,
including academic research scientists, clinical and biopharmaceutical
researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, cell and molecular
biology and genetics lab managers, trainees and technicians.
