General description
FBS blocks reactive oxygen species generation, which otherwise is not eliminated in serum-free media (SFM) systems. It also protects cells from oxidative damage and apoptosis.
Fetal bovine serum is the main component present in almost all media used for the culture of animal cells. It provides serum additives to the cell culture medium, which is essential for supporting growth of a variety of cell types. It is rich in growth factors and protein but low in γ-globulin content.
Application
FBS sourced from Canada is used in a broad range of cell culture applications. FBS provides many non-defined growth promoting and survival enhancing factors to cells in culture. It was used as a supplement for different cell cultures.
Analysis Note
- Endotoxin and hemoglobin tested
- Tested for the presence of bacteria, virus, and mycoplasma
- Triple filtered with 0.1 micron membrane under aseptic conditions

In the present study, polymer monofilaments were embedded in fibrin seeded with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) to guide HUVEC attachment and migration in order to form oriented vessel-like structures between adjacent monofilaments. Histology and fluorescent fibrin experiments confirmed

Certain lactone-containing secondary plant metabolites display potent biological effects, including anti-tumor activities. This is of particular interest as these compounds appear effective against hormone-dependent cancers, such as those of breast and prostate, of which the incidence is on the rise.

Despite considerable progress in the development of cell culture techniques, including the development of the serum- and protein-free media that now routinely support hybridoma and mammalian cell growth, fetal bovine serum (FBS) supplemented media are still commonly used: a practice
