Rhabdastrella globostellata

globostellata has been shown to produce a wide variety of isomalabaricanes, a type of triterpene molecules with notable cytotoxic activity towards certain cancer cell lines.


Infectious pancreatic necrosis

Diagnostic methods for the detection of the disease include: characteristic histological pancreatic lesion, PCR, indirect fluorescent antibody testing, ELISA, and virus culture.

Jean-Pierre Lecocq

Under his leadership secretory and non-secretory expression systems for the production of recombinant proteins in E. coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Baculovirus and mammalian cells in cell culture were developed and recombinant virus technology was established.

KOSR

KOSR, knockout serum replacement, is a defined serum-free formulation optimized to grow and maintain undifferentiated embryonic stem cells in culture.

Tetrazole

This tetrazole is used in the MTT assay to quantify the respiratory activity of live cells in cell culture, although it generally kills the cells in the process.
