| Application: | Human serum from platelet poor plasma (PPP) is useful for studies of the effects of platelet lysates on the growth of cells such as articular chondrocytes and human skin fibroblasts. It has also been used in platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) purification assays. |
| Application: | Human Serum has been used: • in the preparation of human serum samples that mimic the COVID-19 patient samples for serological antibody testing • as a media supplement to differentiate human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPS) to hiPS- brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMEC) • for culturing transgenic Plasmodium falciparum clone • for assessing the electrochemical response of recombinant P. falciparum parasite L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum samples • in platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) purification assays |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Serum serves as a supplement to basal media formulations and conventional biomedical cell culture media. It acts as a source of trace nutrients, signaling molecules, growth factors, and hormones that induce proper cell growth in vitro. Human serum from platelet-poor plasma (PPP) is useful in the studies of the effects of platelet lysates on the growth of cells such as articular chondrocytes and human skin fibroblasts. |
