Process for growing cell cultures of diploid cells on cell supports

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for growing cell cultures of diploid cells. The process comprises the steps of (a) introducing cell culture medium into a container containing cell support prepared by applying to glass or polysaccharide base support a solution of thermosetting plastic material comprising the reaction product of an aldehyde with a polyvinyl alcohol and then subjecting said support thus-coated to the effect of heat under sufficient conditions to permit hardening of said thermosetting plastic material and the sterilization of the thus-coated support; (b) adding human or animal diploid cells to the culture medium of step (a) to form a cell-containing culture medium; and (c) maintaining the cell-containing culture medium of step (b) under cell growth conditions.
