Opis

The 20th ESACT meeting took place in Dresden (2007) and highlighted the latest research in the field of Animal Cell Culture. It attracted a wide range of workers both from Academia and Industry and was supported by some exceptional invited speakers from around the world whose contributions complemented the emerging technologies and the changes being made at the industrial end of the ESACT spectrum. The proceedings here include the short papers from the meeting and provide a reference for the researcher entering, or continuing in the field of Animal Cell Technology.

Concentrating on the move towards the clinic environment, the meeting provided a very valuable and exciting forum for describing the latest developments. The conference included sessions on: Single-Cell Analysis and Engineering; Applied Integrative Physiology;

Speed and Intensification in Bioprocess Development; systems Biotechnology; Competing and Complementary approaches to Animal Cell Technology; and Solutions and Applications.

It has been predicted that nearly half of all human proteins are glycosylated indicating the significance of glycoproteins in human health and disease. For example, the glycans attached to proteins have emerged as important biomarkers in the diagnosis of diseases such as cancers and play a significant role in how pathogenic viruses gain entry into human cells. The study of glycoproteins has now become a truly proteomic science. In the last few years, technology developments including in silico methods, high throughput separation and detection techniques have accelerated the characterization of glycoproteins in cells and tissues. Glyco-engineering coupled to rapid recombinant protein production has facilitated the determination of glycoprotein structures key to exploring and exploiting their functional roles. Each chapter in this volume is written by experts in the field and together provide a review of the state of the art in the emerging field of glycoproteomics.
