What is Tissue Culture?
Today’s Objectives
 Give a brief overview of Tissue Culture
 Plant and Animal
 Give a brief history of Animal Tissue Culture & It’s uses
 Some common Terminologies
 We will look at Plant & Animal Cell culture in more
detail before we try them.
 Take a look around in the Tissue Culture Lab
Definition
 A method for studying the behavior of cells removed
from a plant or animal and the subsequent growth in
favorable artificial conditions.
 Use of solid, semi-solid or liquid growth medium
Brief History
 First developed at beginning of 20th century
 2nd half of 20th century began dispersing cell cultures,
expanding on tissue culture
 Widely used in research and commercial applications,
including:
 antibiotics, transplants, various research, developing cell
lines, vaccine development, regulation of cell functions,
growth factors, reconstituting tissues, etc.
Plant Tissue Culture
• A very technical method of Asexual propagation
• The growing of plantlets from small pieces of plant
tissue from a parent plant.
• Uses an artificial medium under sterile conditions.
• There are several advantages to
• tissue culture.
Advantages
1.
Many plants can be produced from a single plant in
small space and short period of time.
2.
Diseases can be eliminated by quickly dividing cells.
3.
Produce plants with identical flower color for the cut
flower industry.
4.
Promote the growth of genetically engineered
plant cells.

Some Vocabulary we Will Learn
 AGAR
 CALLUS
 CYTOKININ
 EXPLANTS
 HORMONES
 LAMINAR FLOW HOOD
 PARENT PLANT
 PLANTLETS
 STERILE TECHNIQUE
Vocab You May Encounter
 Aseptic- free of microorganisms
 Auxin- group of plant growth regulators
 Endogenous auxins occur naturally
 Exogenous auxins are synthetic
 Callus- unorganized cell mass
 Cytokinin- group of growth regulators that enhances
growth, morphogenesis, and cell division
 Explant- source used to initiate cell culture
Animal Cell Culture
 First developed in beginning of 20th century to study
behavior of animal cells
 Used tissue fragments restricted growth to migration of
cells from fragments
 Culture of cells from primary explants dominated field for
>50 years
 Primary explants = harvest cells, culture them
 Most expansion in field was 2nd half of century
 Possible by using dispersed cell cultures
 Rous first demonstrated disaggregation of explanted
cells and subcultures from cells
 By surgical subdivision (rather than chemical – enzymatic)
 L929 first cloned cell strain (cells are identical)
 In 1950s trypsin (enzymatic) used more for subculture
 Dulbecco’s procedures obtain monolayer cultures
 Generate single cell suspension by trypsinization
 Facilitated further development of single cell cloning
 Gey established first continuous human cell line
 Called HeLa
 Tissue culture became more popular because of antibiotic
production
 Facilitated long-term cell line propagation
 1950s also developed defined media
 Lead to serum-free media
Tissue Culture Terms
 “tissue culture”= general statement including organ and cell
culture
 “organ culture”= 3D culture of tissue retaining some or all
histological features in vivo
 “cell culture”= culture derived from dispersed cells taken from
another source
 “histotypic culture”= cells grown to recreate 3D structure with
tissue-like density
 “organotypic”= recombining cells of different lineages with
procedures similar to histotypic culturing
 Generates “tissue equivalent”
Development of Cell Culture
 Relies on 2 major branches of research
 Production of antiviral vaccines
 Understanding of neoplasia (tumors)
 Standard conditions, cell lines & assay of viruses inspired
development of modern tissue culture tech
 Particularly large amounts of cells for biochem analysis
 Tech improvements possible by variety of media, sera &sterile
control
 Increase in ethical concern promoted in vitro assays
Routine Applications in
Medicine & Industry
 Chromosomal analysis of cells derived by
amniocentesis reveals genetic disorders
 Determines quality of drinking water
 Toxic effects of pharmaceutical compounds
&potential environmental pollutants measured
in in vitro assays
Areas Relying on Tissue Culture
Techniques
 Cancer research &virology
 Introduction of cell fusion & genetic manipulation
 Somatic cell genetics became major component in
genetic analysis of higher animals
 Study of cell interactions & intracellular control
mechanisms in cell differentiation and development
Areas Relying on Tissue Culture
Technique
 Wide range of genetic recombination techniques including
DNA transfer, monochromsomal transfer & nuclear transfer
 Added to somatic hybridization as tools for genetic analysis
&gene manipulation (In Situ Hybridization, KO Mouse)
 DNA transfer spawned many techniques for transferring DNA
to cultured cells
 Includes calcium phosphate coprecipitation, lipofection,
electroporation & retroviral infection
“Tissue Engineering”
 Generation of tissue equivalents by organotypic
culture, isolation &differentiation of human embryonic
&adult totipotent SCs
 From techniques that implant normal cells from adult or
fetal tissue
 Matched donors or implanting genetically reconstituted cells
from same patient
 Gene transfer, materials science, bioreactors
&transplanting tech
IVF
 Developed from early experiments in embryo culture
 Now widely used &accepted
 Ethical debate in generation of gametes in vitro from
primordial germ cells
 Oocytes cultures from embryonic mouse ovary &implanted to
generate normal mice
 Spermatids cultured from newborn bull testes &co-cultured
w/ Sertoli cells
 Similar work w/ mouse testes to fertilize mouse eggs
Primary Culture
 Stage of culture after the cells are isolated from the
tissue and proliferated under the appropriate conditions
until they completely occupy the substrate
 Monolayer –
 Reach Confluence
 Then need to be
subcultured (Passaged)
 Split & Move to fresh
medium, new vessels
Chinese Hamster Ovary
Cells (CHO)
Subcultures
 Subcultures are needed when primary culture grows to
capacity
 Indicates cell proliferation as important feature
 Amount of growth depends on cell type
 Homogeneous cell line emerges from heterogeneous
primary culture
 Can now be propagated, characterized and
stored
Cell Strain
 Subpopulation of a cell line gets positively selected
from a culture by cloning
 Becomes a Cell Strain
 Often acquires additional genetic changes from the
parent strain
Finite Vs. Continuous Cell
Lines
 Normal cells divide a finite number of times before
losing their ability to proliferate
 Finite
 Determined by genetic event called Senescence
 Transformed




Spontaneously or chemically or virally induced
Tumors
Can divide indefinitely
Continuous Cell Line
 Use 70% ethanol
Be Sterile!
 Spray on surfaces and wipe
 Spray on containers (bags, glass jars, etc.) containing sterile
material before bringing into sterile hoods
 Keep supplies, i.e. forceps, submerged in container filled with
70% ETOH when not in use
 Autoclave distilled water to yield sterile water
 Dip supplies in 70% ETOH in sterile water and swirl for a few
seconds to sterilize before use
• Wash your hands!
• Follow given directions!
Sterile Technique
 Wipe down equipment and lab areas with 70% ethanol
 Minimize airflow- keep door closed
 Turn on sterile hoods about 20 minutes before experiment
and clean with 70% ETOH
 Wash hands and arms, but don’t scrub too hard- can
promote flaking
 Spray outside of gloves and packages to enter the sterile
hoods with 70% ETOH
• Keep equipment such as forceps and scalpels in 95%
ETOH then dip in sterile water- makes
sterile for use
equipment
• Each time equipment is used, it must be sterilized
before the next step/use
