This document discusses cell culture and cell lines. It begins by defining cell lines as permanently established cell cultures that can proliferate indefinitely with fresh medium and space. It then describes the process of establishing cell lines from primary cultures through multiple subculturings. The document outlines different types of tissue cultures including primary, finite, and continuous cell lines. It provides examples of cell lines derived from normal, transformed, and stem cells from both human and animal sources. Finally, it briefly mentions some applications of established cell lines.
