Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
By:
Nidhi Uppangala
Somatic cell nuclear transfer is a technique used to produce cloned cells. In this procedure that is in somatic cell nuclear transfer, the nucleus from a somatic cell is transferred into an enucleated oocyte. This transfer helps in reprogramming of an enucleated oocyte into an embryonic cell.

Ion Exchange Chromatography: A Biotechnology Technique
By:
Nidhi Uppangala
Ion exchange chromatography is used for separating proteins with different charge and this gives a very high resolution separation with high sample loading capacity.

Maintenance of Seed Stock and Large Scale Culture of Cell Lines
By:
Nidhi Uppangala
A number of cell lines both finite and continuous are developed from human tissues as well as other animal tissues. Continuous cell lines are developed originally from tumor tissues. Cell lines are characterized before preserving or distributing them for further research work. A cell line can multiply and divide to form seed stock and also working (distribution) stock.

Clonal Growth of Animal Cells in Semisolid Culture Media
By:
Nidhi Uppangala
Animal cell lines like HeLa cells and L-cells, and also normal cells which are transformed by viruses can grow and proliferate to form colonies in soft agar-based media. Most of the normal cells cannot grow in this media except some type of cells like cartilage cells. Isolation of clones is very easy, if they are cultured in semisolid media.
