    Study Notes

    Cell Culture Technology

    • The first major development in cell culture technology was the successful cultivation of cells outside of the body, marking a significant milestone in the field.
    • Ross Granville Harrison successfully undertook cell culture for the first time, maintaining embryonic chick cells in a cell culture.
    • Cell culture technology is NOT currently playing a major role in the area of ecology.
    • The primary purpose of cultivating virus in cell culture is to study and understand the viral replication process, develop vaccines, and produce viral vectors for gene therapy.
    • Ross Granville Harrison was the scientist who first maintained embryonic chick cells in a cell culture.
    • The primary focus of cell culture in practice is to study cellular behavior, understand cellular responses to diseases, and develop new therapeutic strategies.
