The 1999 ESACT conference in Lugano
gave a diverse overview on cell culture technologies. Dr.
Leonard Hayflick, an early pioneer in animal cell technology
gave an excellent and highly relevant historic account when
he discussed WI-38 and related human diploid cell substrates
that were considered “dangerous” for the production
of polio virus in the late 1950s and early1960s. 40 to 50
years later, fears associated with animal cell culture have
been finally put behind and more relaxed and goal driven and
pragmatic approaches to cultivated animal cells have become
evident. Improvement of yields and metabolic engineering were
the strongest sessions at this conference and attracted and
generated many contributions. A new chapter in animal cell
technology was finally introduced as a session at an ESACT
conference – transient gene expression. For the purpose
of scale-up, non-viral and inexpensive delivery vehicles had
been developed that allow producing significant amounts of
proteins in shorter time. Also, tissue engineering as a new
and rapidly growing section of cell technology were introduced
with a small but highly attractive session. |
