#Biopharma Demand Is Driving the Cell Culture Market The production of biologic therapies such as vaccines, blood factors,
and monoclonal antibodies is based on cell culturend the products that facilitate cell culture. According to Kalorama Information, these products,
The demand for cell culture and related products is not just rising, but accelerating, a phenomenon that is reflected in the timing of biopharmaceutical product launches:
The market for cell cultures is expected to grow rapidly alongside biopharmaceuticals and with significant evolution in culture technology.
Bacterial culture is the workhorse of the biotechnology industry. Animal cells are much more fragile than yeast and bacterial cells.
Animal cell culture is complicated more; thus, it is more expensive than traditional fermentation. The most widely used animal cells are Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells.
and thus are easier to grow in culture. CHO cells are epithelial cells that were introduced to science in the 1950s.
and grow well in culture. Cell Culture Media Trends The increasing use of mammalian cell lines,
including versatile and uniquely capable stem cells, in upstream bioprocessing has imposed specific demands on cell cultures:
namely, better-defined media. The rising stakes and production levels of companies active in biopharmaceuticals have dictated improved reproducibility or consistency in product;
and the use of culture product more amenable to downstream processing or purification. Media can be organized into three broad types:
The biopharmaceutical industry shift away from animal-derived culture products is expected to continue, particularly given the ascension of mammalian cell lines in biopharmaceutical production.
Working and Master Cell Banks Once a biopharmaceutical company obtains a beginning cell bank from a cell culture collection,
Shifts in Productive Capacity Cell culture production is growing faster in the Asia Pacific region than any place else in the world.
New technologies used in cell culture production, in particular single-use disposable production systems, are dramatically lowering building costs of biomanufacturing plants.
Market Drivers An important driver of the cell culture market is the production of seasonal influenza vaccines,
However, this labor-intensive approach to vaccine development is currently being replaced by cell-culture systems.
Prefluce, the first cell culture-based vaccine, received European approval in March 2011 and was available for the 2011012 influenza season in the 13 participating European union countries.

Now, results of a study led by Johns Hopkins investigators suggests that a device composed of a magnetic column paired with custom-made magnetic nanoparticles may hold a key to bringing immunotherapy into widespread and successful clinical use.
They then ran the plasma through a magnetic column. The tumor-fighting T cells bound to aapcs and stuck to the sides of the column,
while other cells washed straight through and were discarded. The magnetic field of the column activated the T cells,
which were washed then off into a nourishing broth, or culture, to grow and divide. After one week, their numbers had expanded by an estimated 5, 000 to 10,000 times.
Because numbers of these cells could be expanded quickly enough to be therapeutically useful the approach could open the door to individualized immunotherapy treatments that rely on a patient's own cells,
"The aapcs and magnetic column together provide the foundation for simplifying and streamlining the process of generating tumor-specific T cells for use in immunotherapy,
