Workflow Summary: Human serum albumin (HSA) has been identified as a powerful tool for the expansion of many cell types in vitro [1]. HSA is a multifaceted protein capable of binding many different types of molecules [2]. HSA therefore plays diverse roles in cell biology, acting as an antioxidant to improve health of cells by binding to reactive …
Abstract Due to the increased risk of transmitting infectious agents, antibody production is moving away from the use of animal-derived components in bioproduction. The switch to animal-free cell culture media often results in less performance which is evident in longer doubling time, lower peak cell density and reduced antibody titer. We evaluated recombinant human albumin …
SARS-CoV-2 continues to circulate the globe, causing widespread illness, loss of life , and far-reaching societal and economic disruption. Public health measures like stay-at-home and safer-at-home have been successful in checking the virus’s geometric growth curve, and treatments are in development. However, epidemiologists generally agree that achieving “herd immunity” through a safe and effective vaccine is …
