Animal Cell Technology: Basic & Applied Aspects: Proceedings of the Eighth Annual Meeting of the Japanese Association for Animal Cell Technology, Iizuka, Fukuoka, Japan, November 6-10, 1995

Animal Cell Technology is a growing discipline of cell biology which aims not only to understand the structure, function and behavior of differentiated animal cells but also to ascertain their usefulness for industrial and medical purposes. The goal of animal cell technology includes clonal expansion of differentiated cells for practical applications, optimization of their culturing on an industrial scale, modulation of their ability for production of pharmaceutical proteins and monoclonal antibodies, and application to gene therapy and organ culture.
This volume gives a complete review of the state-of-the-art in Japan, a country where this field is particularly well advanced.
This book should be of interest to cell biologists, biochemists, molecular biologists, biochemical engineers and other disciplines related to animal cell culture, working in the academic environment, as well as in the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industry.
