Large-Scale Mammalian Cell Culture is composed of papers presented as part of a symposium sponsored by the American Chemical Society Division of Microbial and Biochemical Technology at the 188th American Chemical Society National Meeting, held at Philadelphia, Pa., on Aug. 27, 1984. A rapid development of large-scale mammalian cell culture technology for the production of biologically important molecules becomes apparent. This book looks into this technology, its potential for commercial application, and the regulatory concerns posed by its use for the production of human therapeutics.
