Animal serum is commonly used to supplement basal media formulations for the optimal growth of many cell types in vitro. Bovine Calf Serum (BCS) is collected from calves that are less than 12 months old. The serum contains approximately double the protein of fetal bovine serum (fBS). BCS will promote growth in a variety of mammalian cell lines and is often used as a cost-effective substitute for fBS.

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.

Animal serum is commonly used to supplement basal media formulations for the optimal growth of many cell types in vitro. fetal Bovine Serum (fBS) is the most common serum used to supplement cell culture media due to its high nutritional content. Although it is relatively low in protein fBS is effective in promoting and sustaining growth of vertebrate mammalian and insect cells. IgG is the most common immunoglobulin present in fBS. Elevated levels of IgG may cause problems within certain recombinant protein or monoclonal antibody purification processes. for applications where IgG may interfere or cause issues we have depleted IgG levels in this fetal bovine serum by sequential chromatography down to a level of 5 ug/mL while maintaining performance equivalent to regular fBS.

IgG antibody subtype is the most abundant serum immunoglobulins of the immune system. It is secreted by B cells and is found in blood and extracellular fluids and provides protection from infections caused by bacteria fungi and viruses. Maternal IgG is transferred to fetus through the placenta that is vital for immune defence of the neonate against infections Rabbit IgG is purified from normal rabbit serum by fractionation and ion-exchange chromatography.
