* Coverage of both classical and state-of-the-art methods used for cell culture
* Complete presentation of equipment and instrumentation options
* Guidelines for establishing, maintaining, and storing cell lines
* Information on sources for available cell lines
* Techniques for morphologic studies of cell cultures
* Reviews basic principles of cell culture
* Gives options and techniques on how to look at cells

Animal Cell Culture Methods provides complete and thorough coverage of the classical and state-of-the-art techniques used in studies of cultured cells. In four sections, this volume includes the basic principles of cell culture, as well as detailed discussions of the criteria used to make appropriate choices for establishing a model system. Techniques for setting up and maintaining specialized cell cultures are presented, as are microscopy methods used in studying morphology of cultures.
Because cell cultures are crucial to investigations of a wide variety of scientific questions, the methods used for these cultures are essential information across all biological and biomedical disciplines.
