About this title

Review

Animal cells are a relative newcomer to the field of biotechnology, but they are increasing in importance with the development of genetically engineered cell lines. The book is a guide to the culture requirements, preservation, and international organizations from which help and information on animal cell cultures can be obtained. It will allow both existing scientists in the field and others entering the discipline for the first time to understand some of the basic principles underlying animal cell technology and all those other, seemingly unrelated but entirely essential, pieces of information necessary to work efficiently and effectively. It covers resource and information centers, administrative and safety issues, culture and maintenance issues, quality control, patent protection, and culture collection services. The authors are all practicing scientists with considerable expertise, which they have drawn upon to make each contribution a mine of information impossible to obtain elsewhere. -- Book Description
