Current Applications of Cell Culture Engineering – serie

This text covers the latest approaches to improving the cell host through improved understanding of the molecular biology, the development of novel vaccines, approaches to bio-reactor design and operation, monitoring techniques in process control and quality related topics. The work was carefully put together as one result of the Cell Culture Engineering IV Meeting held in San Diego, USA in 1994. It is designed for cell biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, immunologists and other disciplines related to cell culture engineering, working in the academic environment, as well as in the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry.

Insect Cell Cultures: Fundamental and Applied Aspects is a comprehensive reference work, covering the key issues involved in nearly 30 review papers: cell lines (development, characterisation, physiology, cultivation and medium design); viruses (virus-cell interactions, replication, recombinant construction, infection kinetics, post-translational modification and passage effects); engineering (shear, bioreactors including perfusion, immobilisation, scale-up and modelling, downstream processing); applications; economics and regulatory aspects. For cell biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, virologists, immunologists and other basic and applied disciplines related to cell culture engineering, both academic and industrial.

The latest edition in this continuing series includes the newest advances in the rapidly evolving field of animal cell culture, genetic manipulations for heterologous gene expression, cell line enhancements, improved bioreactor designs and separations, gene therapy manufacturing, tissue engineering, anti-apoptosis strategies and cell cycle research. The contents include new research articles as well as critical reviews on emerging topics such as viral and viral-like agent contamination of animal cell culture components. These papers were carefully selected from contributions by leading academic and industrial experts in the biotechnology community at the recent Cell Culture Engineering VI Meeting in San Diego, USA, 1998. However, the book is not merely a proceedings. Audience: Biochemical engineers, cell biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, immunologists and other disciplines related to cell culture engineering, working in the academic environment and the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry.

Cell Culture Engineering IV, Improvements of Human Health covers the latest approaches to improving the cell host through improved understanding of the molecular biology, the development of novel vaccines, approaches to bioreactor design and operation, monitoring techniques in process control and quality related topics. The work was carefully put together as one result of the Cell Culture Engineering IV Meeting held in San Diego, U.S.A. in 1994, however, the book may not be perceived as a proceedings volume - the criteria of the book series apply. For cell biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, immunologists and other disciplines related to cell culture engineering, working in the academic environment, as well as in (biotechnology or pharmaceutical) industry.
