INTRODUCTION An important aspect of any biotechnological processes is the culture of animal cells in artificial media. These animal cells in culture are used in recombinant DNA technology‚ genetic manipulations and in a variety of industrial processes. Now-a -days it has become possible to use the cell and tissue culture in the areas of research which have a potential for economic value and commercialization. The animal cell cultures are being extensively used in production of vaccines‚ monoclonal

Also‚ there is a highly significantly elevated serum level of IL 10 between the two groups than control subjects‚ and also highly significant decrease in levels of IL-2 between the first two groups and the third group (control group).This increase in serum IL-10 in patients with HCV ‚ infection is in agreement

Hi my name is Bryson Yelle‚ and I am on the affirmative side of this debate and I shall be explaining why human experimentation is ethical. Human experimentation Over the years has saved us‚ for example the polio vaccine. The polioVirus happened around the early 1940s to the late 1950s‚ and many of thousands were dying because of it until a man named Jonas salk started his human experimentation in 1952 and released it to the US in 1955. His experimentation killed at around 11 people‚ but saved thousands

The blended products significantly increased the total cholesterol level but not the free cholesterol level in serum and liver of rats when compared with those of the conventional vanaspati group of rats.

If they have an elevated serum level of thyroid hormones there is a high probability that they have Graves’ disease. However‚ elevated serum thyroid hormone levels are also indicators for other disturbances in the body such as a critical illness‚ disturbances in binding proteins due to drugs or pregnancy and the use of heparin as an
