Keynote: J Aquac Res Development

Abstract:

In vitro cultured animal cells have provided us a very powerful tool to study virology, molecular biology, cell biology and immunology, etc. In contrast to mammalian, fish and insect where the development of a variety of cell lines has become routine, the establishment of cell lines from marine invertebrates has been encountered with big obstacles, and there is no single established cell line from marine invertebrates reported. This talk reviews the advances, problems and prospectives in the field of marine invertebrate cell cultures.
