Animal Primary Cells

The animal cell model is an alternative for in vivo studying the biological functions of cells. As models for human systems, researchers can use animal cells to examine a wide range of disease mechanisms and evaluate novel treatments before applying the results of these investigations to humans. Animal cell culture has found use in diverse areas, from basic to advanced research.  Studying basic cell biology, cell cycle mechanisms, specialized cellular functions, cell-cell and cell-matrix interactionsToxicity testing to study the effects of new drugsGene therapy for replacing non-functional genes with functional gene-carrying cellsProduction of vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and pharmaceutical drugsProduction of viruses for use in vaccine production
