Contd..
1916: Rous and Jones introduced proteolytic enzyme
trypsin for the subculture of adherent cells.
1927: Carrel and Rivera produced the first viral vaccine
Vaccinia.
1940s: The use of the antibiotics penicillin and
streptomycin in culture medium decreased the problem
of contamination in cell culture.
1948: Earle isolated mouse fibroblasts which formed
clones from single cells. Fischer developed a chemically
defined medium, CMRL 1066.
1952: Gey established a continuous cell line from a
human cervical carcinoma known as HeLa (Helen Lane)
cells. Dulbecco developed plaque assay for animal
viruses using confluent monolayers of cultured cells.
Contd..
1965: Harris and Watkins were able to fuse human and
mouse cells by the use of a virus.
1975: Kohler and Milstein produced the first hybridoma
capable of secreting a monoclonal antibody.
1982: Human insulin became the first recombinant
protein to be licensed as a therapeutic agent.
1985: Human growth hormone produced from
recombinant bacteria was accepted for therapeutic use.
1990s: Many recombinant products in clinical trial
Safe Laboratory
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Change gloves when contaminated, and dispose of used
gloves.
Safe Laboratory
Decontaminate all work surfaces , glassware
before and after your experiments, and
immediately after any spill with an appropriate
disinfectant.
Decontaminate all potentially infectious materials
before disposal.
Report any incidents that may result in exposure
to infectious materials to appropriate personnel
(e.g., laboratory supervisor, safety officer).
Horizontal flow -provides protection to the culture (if the air flowing towards the
user) or to the user (if the air is drawn in through the front)
Vertical flow provides significant protection to the user and the cell culture.
Class II
an open-front, ventilated cabinet. This cabinet provides a
HEPA-filtered, recirculated mass airflow within the work
space. The exhaust air from the cabinet is also filtered by
HEPA filters. Thus, the Class II biosafety cabinet will provide
personnel, environment and product protection
Class III
a totally enclosed ventilated cabinet of gas-tight construction.
Operations within the Class III cabinet are conducted through
attached rubber gloves.
Inverted microscope
-to observe cells
Incubator
Incubator -provides the appropriate environment
for cell growth.
5% CO2
370C
Appropriate humidity
Additional Supplies
Cell culture vessels (e.g., flasks, Petri dishes, roller
bottles, multi-well plates)
Pipettes and pipettors
Syringes and needles
Waste containers
Media, sera, and reagents
Cells
Cell Counter
Cell Counter -is essential to
measure cell count and
viability (live, dead, and total
cells) accurately and precisely.
Trypan Blue uptake technique.
Counting cells
Total No of Cells: 24
Total No of cells per square = 6
Total volume = 10 4
Dilution factor = D
Cell concentration = 6 X 10 4 X D / mL
Square
# cells
Culture Flasks
PYREX glass flasks and Petri dishes
Disposable plastic culture vessels are
commonly used
Flasks, dishes and 96 well plates
made up of polystyrene, a long
carbon chain polymer with benzene
rings attached to every other carbon
are available commercially
Polystyrene was chosen because it
has excellent optical clarity, easy to
mold and can be sterilized by
irradiation.
