Cell Culture

➨ Cell culture is the process by which cells are grown under controlled conditions, generally outside their natural environment in especially designed conditions and precise conditions of temperature, humidity, nutrition, and freedom for contamination.

➨ Cultured cells are excellent hosts for the propagation of many types of viruses. The ability of cell culture systems to produce large quantities of attenuated viral particles has served as the basis for the production of both human and veterinary vaccines.
