IntroductionIntroduction
• The concept of tissue culture is not new!! (1885)
• Toxicological test LDLD5050 methods are necessary to assess the
hazard and safety of various substances such as medicine,
consumer products and industrial chemicals
• In recent years animal or replace animal use

DefinitionDefinition
Tissue culture and Plant tissue culture:
Is a term used for the process of keeping
tissue alive and growing artificially in the lab
Using Liquid or Semisolid growth media
Tissue culture means :
the ability of tissues to survive and grow outside the body in an artificial environment (by using liquid,semisolid or solid growth media such as broth or agar.)
Historical UsageHistorical Usage
• Firstly, they chose the frog as a source of tissue because it was a cold-blooded animal, and
consequently incubation was not required.
• Then at 1885 they used the medullary plate of an embryonic chicken and maintained it in
warm saline solution for several days.
• In medical science medical science it is carried into warm-blooded animals, where normal and pathological
development are close to human using:
Pure strains of rodents.
Embryonated hen’s egg.
• In 1902 Leo Loeb In 1902 Leo Loeb placed fragments of the skin (tissue transplantation)(tissue transplantation) from the embryos of
guinea pigs in agar and in coagulated serum and inserted them into adult guinea pigs.
Uses of tissue cultureUses of tissue culture• Used in culturing of specific plants.
• Investigation of the normal physiology and biochemistry of the cell (development
of nerve cell).
• Study the effect of various chemicals or drugs on specific cell types
(cytotoxicological- effects)
• Study the protective or curative effect of certain substance.
• Used for growing viruses and production of anti viral vaccines.
• Cancer research
• Used medically to generate artificial tissues.(liver, articular cartilage & skin
grafting)
Advantages of Tissue CultureAdvantages of Tissue Culture
• Control of the surrounding environment
• Sample is Homogenous
• Use the specific cells
• Cheaper!
• Result in short time
• Humane!
TypesTypes1.1. Primary culturesPrimary cultures
2.2. Secondary cultures (cell line)Secondary cultures (cell line)
1. Primary cultures:1. Primary cultures:
it refers to cultures prepared directly from animals. it refers to cultures prepared directly from animals.
• Organ culture• Slice tissue culture (small pieces of tissue are
cultured in enriched media)• Histotypic (histoculture) : (high density slice
culture of one cell type)• Primary cell culture (single cells which could
be plated on a coated surface)• Reaggregated culture (single cell reaggregate
into small balls).
2. Secondary cultures:-2. Secondary cultures:-
Cells that survive the crisiscrisis and continue to growgrow are
referred to cell line.cell line.
Continuous cell line (cells can passage indefinitely
and express stable phenotype)
Transformed cell line (from tumor cells)
Clonal cell line (cells could be cloned in continuous cell
lines to obtain genetically homogenous population)
• Plating density : number of cells per volume of of tissue culture.
• Cells can grow either on suspension or adherent culture.
Critical RequirementsCritical Requirements
