Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume stems from a symposium sponsored by the W. Alton Jones Cell Science Center, Lake Placid New York. The Second Annual W. Alton Jones Cell Science Center Symposium: Cell Substrates and Their Use in the Production of Vaccines and Other Biologicals was held October 23-26, 1978. The Center is an operational unit of the Tissue Culture Association and offers, in collaboration with the Association's Education Committee, a wide range of educational and research activities. During the past 20 years there have been numerous national and international conferences on the topic of cell cultures used to produce biological products. Those largely dealt with the technology and associated issues that were current at the time of the meetings. For example, as human diploid cells were developed and proposed for use in vaccine production, a number of meetings were held to examine the pros and cons of human diploid cells. A large amount of data was provided at those conferences which formed the basis for the eventual acceptance of that cell system. Each meeting added to the general base of knowledge in the area of cell cultures and their application to the current and novel set of problems encountered. In general, the participants reaffirmed the basic premises that were formulated in the early days of polio virus vaccine production regarding the criteria for acceptability of cells when used in the manufacture of biologics intended for humans.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In September 1999, the cell substrate workshop entitled 'Evolution of Cell Substrates Used in the Manufacture of Biologicals' was held as a means to consider in depth the issues raised by the need to use neoplastic, i.e. continuous, cells as substrates for viral vaccine manufacture. Workshop goals included identifying the risks and concerns associated with the use of neoplastic cell substrates and determining the manner in which these could be assessed. Volume 106 of Developments in Biologicals presents the edited proceedings of this workshop. It is the latest in a series of monographs that go back to 1967 and record the proceedings of meetings devoted to issues concerning the use of cells cultured in vitro as substrates for the manufacture of viral vaccines. The current workshop covered the following: - a review of the history of cell substrate use in the production of biologicals - scientific issues related to the development of the neoplastic state and tumorigenicity - viral-viral and viral-cell interactions - the oncogenic potential of residual cell-substrate DNA - adventitious agent testing - ways to generate immortalized cells in vitro The purpose of these discussions was to build on the concepts and precedents for the scientifically based, regulatory management of viral vaccines documented in the earlier monographs. It is the hope of the meeting organizers and sponsors that this volume will assist in generating confidence among vaccine developers, manufacturers, regulatory agencies and the general public that the use of neoplastic cell substrates, within an effective, reasoned, regulatory approach, is feasible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Infogest” (Improving Health Properties of Food by Sharing our Knowledge on the Digestive Process) is an EU COST action/network in the domain of Food and Agriculture that will last for 4 years from April 4, 2011. Infogest aims at building an open international network of institutes undertaking multidisciplinary basic research on food digestion gathering scientists from different origins (food scientists, gut physiologists, nutritionists...). The network gathers 70 partners from academia, corresponding to a total of 29 countries. The three main scientific goals are: Identify the beneficial food components released in the gut during digestion; Support the effect of beneficial food components on human health; Promote harmonization of currently used digestion models Infogest meetings highlighted the need for a publication that would provide researchers with an insight into the advantages and disadvantages associated with the use of respective in vitro and ex vivo assays to evaluate the effects of foods and food bioactives on health. Such assays are particularly important in situations where a large number of foods/bioactives need to be screened rapidly and in a cost effective manner in order to ultimately identify lead foods/bioactives that can be the subject of in vivo assays. The book is an asset to researchers wishing to study the health benefits of their foods and food bioactives of interest and highlights which in vitro/ex vivo assays are of greatest relevance to their goals, what sort of outputs/data can be generated and, as noted above, highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the various assays. It is also an important resource for undergraduate students in the ‘food and health’ arena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication comprises the proceedings of the Vaccine Cell Substrates 2004 conference. The purpose of this conference was to review current data and progress in the field of cell substrates, discuss the continued use of existing tests and the appropriateness of new ones at this time, and develop consensus recommendations on how to address these issues, by either recommending implementation or identifying research gaps that preclude decision-making. Scientific topics covered oncogenicity of cellular components, both latent viruses and cellular DNA, viral adventitious agent test methods, level of assurance provided by the current tests, bovine (and porcine) viruses in (primarily) bovine-derived raw materials, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy agents as potential contaminants of cell substrates. Also presented were tests that ensure the safety and quality of novel vaccine cell substrates for investigational vaccine production. Academia, regulators, the vaccine industry and the testing industry developing, regulating or testing viral vaccines will greatly benefit from the wealth of new findings.

Download or read book Molecular and Cellular Aspects of Basement Membranes written by David H Rohrbach and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Molecular and Cellular Aspects of Basement Membranes reviews the knowledge about the molecular and cellular aspects of basement membranes. This book focuses on the composition of basement membranes and their organization in extracellular matrices and presents a structural analysis of the various components of the basement membrane. The importance of basement membranes with respect to cell-matrix interactions, differentiation, and pathology is also considered. This text is organized into three sections and is comprised of 20 chapters. It begins with historical perspectives and an overview of the extracellular matrix in general and the basement membrane in particular. The discussion then turns to the organization of basement membrane components into a three-dimensional and functional matrix, along with the unique characteristics of basement membranes in skin, nerve, and kidney. The reader is also introduced to the specificity of particular basement membranes in particular histological sites; the molecular characteristics of basement membrane collagens, laminins, and proteoglycans; and the interaction of specific peptide domains of basement membrane components with cell surface receptors. Finally, the book explains how subtle changes in basement membrane composition or protein structure can cause dramatic pathology. This book will be of value to cell biologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, and pathologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ten-year interval since the first edition of this volume went to press, our knowledge of extracellular matrix (ECM) function and structure has enor mously increased. Extracellular matrix and cell-matrix interaction are now routine topics in the meetings and annual reviews sponsored by cell biology societies. Research in molecular biology has so advanced the number of known matrix molecules and the topic of gene structure and regulation that we won dered how best to incorporate the new material. For example, we deliberated over the inclusion of chapters on molecular genetics. We decided that with judicious editing we could present the recent findings in molecular biology within the same cell biology framework that was used for the first edition, using three broad headings: what is extracellular matrix, how is it made, and what does it do for cells? Maintaining control over the review of literature on the subject of ECM was not always an easy task, but we felt it was essential to production of a highly readable volume, one compact enough to serve the the student as an introduction and the investigator as a quick update on graduate the important recent discoveries. The first edition of this volume enjoyed con hope the reader finds this edition equally useful. siderable success; we D. Hay Elizabeth vii Contents Introductory Remarks 1 Elizabeth D. Hay PART I.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Approaches to Animal Cell Technology is a collection of papers presented at the 1987 joint European Society for Animal Cell Technology-OHOLO conference held in Tiberias, Israel. Contributors explore modern approaches to animal cell technology and discuss the construction of the animal cell substrate, the physiology of those cells in a bioreactor type of environment, and the ways in which different products can be made from animal cells in culture and tested. This book is comprised of 59 chapters divided into nine sections and begins by outlining the history of issues and decisions that were made regarding the acceptability of various cell substrates, along with the use of continuous cell lines in biotechnology. The next chapter explores the feasibility, reproducibility, and the sensitivity of the dot-blot filter hybridization test to detect minute amounts of residual cellular DNA. The reader is then introduced to cells and cell lines such as monoclonal antibodies; cell growth and development; physiology of cells; and the use of bioreactors for culturing animal cells. Downstream unit processes, vaccines, immune system products, and toxicity testing with animal cells are also considered. This monograph will be a valuable resource for animal-cell technologists, biotechnologists, and microbiologists.
