Abstract
This nutrient medium is very effective for the serum-free or serum-protein-free culture of various animal cells, in both high and low density culture. Serum proteins have been replaced with non-protein-based cell growth enhancers and a non-serum derived protein supplement. The non-protein growth enhancer is a modified or derivatized polyurethane prepolymer of polymer and preferably is a sulfhydryl derivative of polyurethane. The protein supplement may be insulin, an insulin analog or an insulin-like growth factor.
