  • ANIMAL CELL CULTURE MEDIA COMPRISING NON ANIMAL OR PLANT DERIVED NUTRIENTS
    Publication number: 20110039330
    Abstract: The present invention provides serum-free cell culture media formulations which are capable of supporting the in vitro cultivation of animal cells. The media comprise at least one nutrient of non-animal derivation, such as at least one plant peptide and/or at least one non-animal or plant lipid and/or fatty acid. The media may further optionally comprise an enzymatic digest or extract of yeast cells. The present invention also provides methods of cultivating animal cells in vitro using these cell culture media formulations. In addition, the media of the present invention can be used for growth of animal cells for virus production.

  • Animal cell culture media comprising peptides derived from rice
    Patent number: 6103529
    Abstract: The present invention provides serum-free cell culture media formulations which are capable of supporting the in vitro cultivation of animal cells. The media comprise at least one nutrient of plant derivation, such as at least one plant peptide and/or at least one plant lipid and/or at least one plant fatty acid. The media may further optionally comprise an enzymatic digest or extract of yeast cells. The present invention also provides methods of cultivating animal cells in vitro using these cell culture media formulations. In addition, the media of the present invention can be used for growth of animal cells for virus production.In particular, an animal cell culture medium comprising at least one peptide derived from rice, wherein said animal cell culture medium is completely devoid of animal-derived proteins.
