Description
Y001 Yeast extract is a commonly used component in cell culture media due to its rich nutrient content. It provides a variety of essential nutrients, growth factors, and vitamins that support the growth and proliferation of a wide range of cell types. Here are some specific applications of yeast extract in cell culture:
1. **Nutrient source**: Y001 Yeast extract serves as a rich source of amino acids, peptides, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients that are essential for cell growth and metabolism. It provides a complex mixture of organic compounds that support cell proliferation.
2. **Promoting cell growth**: The nutrients present in yeast extract support the growth of cells in culture by providing the necessary building blocks for protein synthesis, nucleic acid synthesis, and other cellular processes.
3. **Enhancing cell viability**: Y001 Yeast extract can enhance cell viability in culture by providing a supportive environment with a broad spectrum of nutrients. This can help cells maintain their physiological functions and resist stress conditions.
4. **Inducing protein expression**: In protein expression studies, yeast extract can be used to induce protein production in recombinant cell lines. The rich nutrient content of yeast extract can support high-level protein expression.
5. **Microbial cell culture**: Y001 Yeast extract is commonly used in microbial cell culture, including the culture of bacteria and yeast strains. It provides essential nutrients for the growth and maintenance of these microorganisms.
6. **Virus production**: Yeast extract can also be used in cell culture systems for virus production. It supports the growth of virus-infected cells and can enhance viral replication and yield.
7. **Hybridoma culture**: In hybridoma cell culture for monoclonal antibody production, yeast extract can support the growth and antibody production of hybridoma cells.
