Five‐year perspective of the large‐scale growth of mammalian cells in suspension culture

Abstract

AbstractThe Cell Culture Center at the University of Alabama in Birmingham was set up to produce large quantities of cells and their products from suspension cultured cell lines. This system has now been in operation for over five years and has been effective in producing large quantities of mammalian cells of murine and human origin. This article describes the system and some growth parameters which have been of importance for large‐scale mammalian cell growth.
