Application
Fetal Bovine Serum has been used as a supplement in cell
culture media such as Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium (RPMI-1640) and
Dulbecco′s Modified Eagles Media (DMEM)[1]to support the growth of a variety of
cell lines.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Fetal bovine serum (FBS) serves as a commonly utilized cell
culture media supplement to support in vitro and ex
vivo cell, tissue, and organ cultures. FBS remains a popular media
supplement because it provides a wide array of functions in cell culture. FBS
delivers nutrients, growth, and attachment factors and protects cells from
oxidative damage and apoptosis by mechanisms that are difficult to reproduce in
serum-free media (SFM) systems. It provides many non-defined growth-promoting
and survival enhancing factors to cells in culture. Derived from clotted blood,
it is the most widely used undefined supplement in eucaryotic, especially
mammalian, cell culture. FBS is typically used with the classical media that
were developed in the 1950s and 1960s. These include many popular media such as
Minimum Essential Medium (MEM); Dulbecco′s Modified Eagles Media (DME, DMEM);
Iscove′s Modified Eagles Medium (IMDM); M199 and Roswell Park Memorial
Institute medium, RPMI-1640.
