title: Cultivation of V79 cells in serum-free medium containing bovine serum albumin and the use of gelatin as an attachment factor.
abstract: V79 cells were cultivated in a serum-free medium. When a serum-free, bovine serum albumin-containing medium was used, removal of trypsin after cell detachment during subcultivation was necessary for routine mass cultivation. For colony formation addition of an attachment factor to the medium was further necessary. Gelatin was proved to serve as a good attachment factor in the colony formation and it could be substituted for fibronectin as an attachment factor for serum-free cultivation of many types of cells.
