INTRODUCTION T h e delav in designing a successful method of insect tissue culture may be largely attributed to pioneer work having to rely on knowledge of the nutritional requirements that favoured the growth of vertebrate tissues iri ritro. It has been said that the deep and extensive knowledge of the biochemistry and physiology of vertebrates has had much to do with the success in cultivating mammalian cells (Martignoni, 1960). I n so far as the design of physiological solutions for forming the basis of media is concerned, this is certainly true. It also holds for the design of synthetic media. But historically, the success of vertebrate tissue culture owes just as much to the art of the TI - THE CULTIVATION OF INSECT CELLS AND TISSUES JF - Biological Reviews DO - 10.1111/j.1469-185X.1962.tb01334.x DA - 1962-11-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/the-cultivation-of-insect-cells-and-tissues-re01vAGE20 SP - 512 VL - 37 IS - 4 DP - DeepDyve ER -
