CELL CULTURE MEDIA
B. RAJU, Asst professor in zoology,
Govt Degree College, Tekkali.
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
 A Culture media is a nutrient solution containing all
essential organic and inorganic ingredients required for
the growth of animal cell.
 Various types of media used for tissue culture may be
grouped into two broad categories.
1. Natural media and
2. Artificial media
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
NATURAL MEDIA
 These media consist of naturally occurring
biological fluids and these are the following three
types
 a. Coagula/Clots
 b. Biological fluids
 c. Tissue extracts
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
a. Coagula/Clots:
 Most commonly used clots are plasma clots,
which are being used since long time.
 Plasma is now commercially available either in
liquid or lyophilized state.
 It may be prepared in the laboratory, usually from
blood of male fowl, but clotting must be avoided
during the preparation.
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
b. Biological fluids:
 Of the various biological fluids used as Culture
media e.g. Amniotic fluid, Ascitic fluid, Pleural
fluid, Aqueous fluid from eye, insect hemolymph,
Serum etc.
 Serum is the most widely used. It may be
obtained from human blood, placental cord
blood, horse blood, calf blood.
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
c. Tissue extracts:
 Chick embryo extracts is the most
commonly used tissue extracts
 but bovine embryo extracts are also used
 other tissue extracts that have been used
are Spleen, liver, bone marrow, leucocytes
etc. extracts.
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
ARTIFICIAL MEDIA OR SYNTHETIC MEDIA
 Various artificial media may be
grouped into following types.
 Serum containing media
 Serum free media and
 Chemically defined media
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
a. Serum containing media:
 Various defined media, e.g. Eagle Minimum Essential
Medium (EMEM) etc., When supplemented with 5-20%
serum becomes good nutrient medium for culture of most
types of cells. Serum serves the following major functions.
 It provides the basic nutrients for cell. The nutrients are
present both in the solution and are bound to the
proteins.
 It provides hormones like insulin, which is essential for
growth of nearly all cells in culture.
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
 It contains several growth factors like Platelet –
derived growth factor, transforming growth factor,
epidermal growth factor, fibroblast growth factor,
endothelial growth factor etc.
 A major role of serum is to supply proteins. Like
fibronectin, to promote attachment of cells to the
substrate.
 It provides several binding proteins like Albumin,
Transferrin etc. which carry other molecules into the
cell.
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
 It increases the viscosity of medium and
thereby, protects cells from mechanical
damages.
 The serum also provides several minerals
like Na+, k+, Fe+, Zn+, Cu++, etc.
 It also acts as a buffer.
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
Disadvantages of using serum in the culture media
 Serum may inhibit growth of some cell types such
as epidermal keratinocytes.
 Serum may contain potentially cytotoxic
constituents. Ex: feotal calf serum contain the
enzyme polyamine oxidase, which converts
polyamines like spermidine and spermine into
cytotoxic poly amino aldehydes.
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
b. Serum free media:
 In view of the disadvantages due to serum,
extensive investigations have been made to develop
serum free formulations of culture media.
 Improved reproducibility of results from different
laboratories.
 Easier downstream processing of products from
cultured cells.
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
 Toxic effects of serum are avoided.
 There is no danger of degradation of serum
proteins.
 Permit selective culture of differentiated
cells and produce cell types from the
heterogenous cultures.
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
Disadvantages:
 Most serum free media are specific to one cell type.
Therefore, different media may be required for different
cell lines.
 Reliable serum-free media preparation, for most of the
media formulations are not available commercially.
 A greater control of pH, temperature etc. is necessary as
compared with serum containing media.
 Growth rate and the maximum cell density attained are
lower than those with serum containing media.
CELL CULTURE MEDIA
c. Chemically defined media:
 These media contain contamination-
free ultrapure inorganic and organic
constituents, besides pure protein additives
like insulin, epidermal growth factor etc.
that have been produced in bacteria or
yeast by genetic engineering methods.
