Mammalian Cell Culture Technology

Biotechnology has made major progress for creating substances over the recent past. Scientists all over the world use various cell culture technologies on a daily basis. Cell culture is a method in which cells are grown under artificial & controlled conditions. Also, the techniques for the industrial production of biopharmaceuticals such as antibodies, proteins, vaccines, etc. have shifted from the usual fermentation technologies to the modern mammalian cell culture technologies. The global market for cell culture protein surface coating is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR over the estimated period (from 2014 to 2025). This growth is attributed to the growing interests of scientists & biotechnology firms in the stem cell R&D.

Mammalian Cell Culture:

The gene therapy or tissue engineering opens up new exciting fields. Bioreactors from small- to large-scale have also been developed over the last few years for the applications based on mammalian cell culture. The mammalian cell culture technology is becoming a major field of the modern biotechnology, particularly in the human health area. The term “mammalian cell culture” is used for the cells of mammalians that are isolated from particular tissues such as glands, liver, skin, and so on and further grown and recreated in a man-made medium.

Fields of Products & Applications:

Among the products, rabies, Foot-&-Mouth-Disease (FMD), and rubella for veterinary usage and hepatitis B, viral vaccines against polio, mumps, and measles for human usage are the important ones. The latest advance—for the large-scale viral vaccines production with the cells dependent on anchorage—was the advent of microcarriers in the late 60s. The latest targets for cell-based vaccines include the herpes simplex virus, influenza, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Recent improvements include DNA vaccines or genetically-designed vaccines

Monoclonal antibodies are now an important tool for diagnostic uses, as well as for treatment. The significance of these antibodies as therapeutic agents has increased in recent times, as the immunogenic mouse antibodies were substituted by chimeric, human or humanized antibodies. The glycoprotein is another major group of mammalian cell products.

The areas of application are cancer diagnosis & treatment, Organ Transplantation (OKT3), leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and asthma. The latest recombinant methods focus on novel antibody formats, for instance, bivalent antibodies or fragmented antibodies (FAb’s), with a wide application range.

Market Insights:

The growing demands for biopharmaceutical products (vaccines, antibodies, etc.) created using the help of cell culture technology are expected to augment the cell culture protein surface coating market growth. The key companies operating in the worldwide market include Trevigen Inc.; Greiner Bio One International GmbH; Merck KGaA; BioVision, Inc.; and PerkinElmer, Inc.
