History
What is Mammalian Cell Culture ?
“Culturing of cells derived from animal cells/tissue”
Growing animal cells outside of the body under controlled conditions
Animal Tissue Culture of cells
Artificial environment: Similar to in vivo conditions
Why Cell Culture ?
➢ Cell is the Basic Unit for the Life
➢ Excellent model systems
Don’t test on me, rather test on cells
Lets test my new drug on
you?
➢ Reduce the animal usage

Cells
Primary Culture cells
▪ Limited life span
▪ Difficult to maintain in culture
▪ Slow proliferation
▪ Not well characterized
▪ Derived directly from living tissue
▪ More similar to in vivo studies,
▪ Clinical relevance;
▪ Translational research

Secondary Culture Cells
▪ Derived from primary cells
▪ Isolated by selection
▪ More homogeneous
▪ Finite life span in vitro

• Modifications; transformed
• Altered physiological properties
• Not representative of in vivo
• Derived from pri / sec culture
• Immortalized, Fast growth

Types of Cells (Anchorage)
Anchorage dependant (Adherent)
▪ Most animal tissue derived cells
▪ Adhere to bottom of a flask
▪ Form a monolayer
Anchorage independent (Suspension)
▪ Cells associated with body fluid
(eg. blood cells)
▪ Free-floating (in suspension)
