Human Serum in the culture medium provides human cell lines with an environment more closely matching their physiological conditions than media with animal sera. This is of particular significance in micro-optical investigations of cell structures or differentiation studies, whose results are intended to allow conclusions to be drawn regarding natural conditions in human tissue. Human serum may be superior to animal sera when culturing sensitive human cell lines. This particularly applies to immune cells such as macrophages or lymphocytes.
Human Serum Type AB is suitable not only as an additive to culture media, but also for control assays, immunoassays, clinical chemistry and in vitro diagnostics.
Human Serum Type AB originates exclusively from donors of blood group AB whose blood contains neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies which can damage cultured human cells and disrupt immunological investigations.
