Question

Explain suspension and anchorage dependent cell cultures.

Answer 1

ANCHORAGE-DEPENDENT CELLS

Anchorage-dependent cells are of great interest for various biotechnological applications.

) They represent a formidable production means of viruses for vaccination purposes at very large scales (in 1000–6000 l reactors) using microcarriers, and in the last decade many more novel viral vaccines have been developed using this production technology.

(ii) With the advent of stem cells and their use/potential use in clinics for cell therapy and regenerative medicine purposes, the development of novel culture devices and technologies for adherent cells has accelerated greatly with a view to the large-scale expansion of these cells.

SUSPENSION

Suspension culture is a type of culture in which single cells or small aggregates of cells mul­tiply while suspended in agitated liquid medium. It is also referred to as cell culture or cell suspen­sion culture.

It is also important to build up an understanding of an organ formation or embryoid formation start­ing from single cell or small cell aggregates.

Sus­pension culture derived from medicinally impor­tant plants can be studied for the production of secondary metabolites such as alkaloids and a considerable amount of industrial effort is being placed on the exploitation and expansion of this area.
