Question

expression of cloned proteins in animal cells

Answer 1

Animal Cell Technology (ACT) is theexpression of cloned genes in eukaryotic cell (mammalian cell) for the production of recombinantproteins. ... It helps to study gene functions or gene products by manipulating specific gene expressionin cells, and can also be used to produce recombinant proteins in mammalian cells.

Answer 2

By definition animal cell technology is that part of biotechnology which is based on the use of animal (including human) cells, propagated in vitro, for the manufacture of biological molecules, e.g. biopharmaceuticals, and as toolbox in the discovery and testing of medicines. The main field of application of animal cell technology is the medical and pharmaceutical arena. The members of ACTIP, the Animal Cell Technology Industrial Platform, want to support and reinforce further development of animal cell technology which will lead to increased utilization of animal and human cells to be propagated in vitro.
