COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course Level Master's Degree
Course Type Elective
Course Objective The purpose of this course is to introduce garduate students to basic mammalian cell culture techniques. The course will provide essential information on the aseptic techniques, and passaging of adherent and non-adherent cells. During the course, the differences between continuous cell lines and primary cells will be discussed. Finally, basic methods for monitoring cell growth and viability will be discussed.
Course Content Introduction to basic principles, Aseptic techniques, and the use of the vertical laminar-flow biosafety cabinet. Selection and preparation of media and antibiotics, waste disposal. Freezing and thawing of cells, passaging of adherent cells, passaging floater cells, cell counting and determination of cell viability. Cell viability determination. Differences between primary, transformed, and cancer cells. Establishment of primary cultures from tissue. Separation of mononuclear cells from blood. Methods for determining cell cycling, growth and viability. Cell viability assessment by trypan blue exclusion assay. Cell growth determination by MTT assay. Scallng-up of animal cell cultures. Cell line preservation and authentication. Epithelial stem cell Identification, isolation, and culture. Senescence, apoptosis, and necrosis.
