  2. Fetal bovine serum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetal_bovine_serum

    The globular protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a major component of fetal bovine serum. Besides BSA, fetal bovine serum is a rich source of growth and attachment factors, lipids, hormones, nutrients and electrolytes necessary to support cell growth in culture. It is typically added to basal cell culture medium, such as DMEM or RPMI, at a 5 ...

  3. RPMI 1640 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPMI_1640

    Normally, the medium contains no proteins or growth factors, so it is commonly supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Properly supplemented with serum or an adequate serum replacement, RPMI 1640 allows the cultivation of many cell types, especially human lymphocytes, Jurkat cells, HeLa cells, bone marrow cells, hybridomas and carcinomas.

  4. Platelet lysate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet_lysate

    Human platelet lysate (or hPL) is a substitute supplement for fetal bovine serum (FBS) in experimental and clinical cell culture. It is a turbid, light-yellow liquid that is obtained from human blood platelets after freeze/thaw cycle(s).

  5. Cell culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_culture

    The growth factors used to supplement media are often derived from the serum of animal blood, such as fetal bovine serum (FBS), bovine calf serum, equine serum, and porcine serum. One complication of these blood-derived ingredients is the potential for contamination of the culture with viruses or prions , particularly in medical biotechnology ...

  6. Bovine serum albumin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_serum_albumin

    Bovine serum albumin (BSA or "Fraction V") is a serum albumin protein derived from cows. It is often used as a protein concentration standard in lab experiments. The nickname "Fraction V" refers to albumin being the fifth fraction of the original Edwin Cohn purification methodology that made use of differential solubility characteristics of plasma proteins.

  7. Serum (blood) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum_(blood)

    Such convalescent serum is a form of immunotherapy. [citation needed] Serum is also used in protein electrophoresis, due to the lack of fibrinogen which can cause false results. [citation needed] Fetal bovine serum (FBS) is rich in growth factors and is frequently added to growth media used for eukaryotic cell culture.

  8. Embryoid body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryoid_body

    However, alternative media compositions, including the use of fetal bovine serum as well as defined growth factor additives, have been developed to promote the differentiation toward mesoderm and endoderm lineages. [43] [44] [45]

  9. Cellular agriculture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_agriculture

    Conventional methods for growing animal tissue in culture involves the use of fetal bovine serum (FBS). FBS is a blood product extracted from fetal calves. This product supplies cells with nutrients and stimulating growth factors, but is unsustainable and resource-heavy to produce, with large batch-to-batch variation. [21]
