Large-scale insect cell culture.
Significant advances have been made over the past year in our understanding of the protective mechanisms, both fluid-mechanical and biological, of media additives on suspended animal cells. The degree of protection offered by different additives, such as pluronic polyol, appears to be cell-type dependent, varying quite dramatically not only between insect and mammalian cells, but also between different insect cell lines themselves.
