Question

What is not utilized to culture viruses?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Viruses can be made to grow within a living organism or outside a living organism in cells in unnatural environments like agar plate, cell culture flask, test tube and so on. This act is what is referred to as Vital culture.

Animal virus cultivation is very vital or necessary for:

***The production or development of vaccines

***Diagnosis of viruses which are pathogenic in nature.

***Carrying out research studies on virology

Some of the instruments that come in handy during viral culture include:

a. Auto-destruct syringes for specimen colleci.

b. Bijou bottle with screw cap used as a culture medium holder.

c.Mc Cartney's bottle for simultaneous solid and liquid cultures.

d. Platinum wire loop used to inoculate test samples into culture medium.

e. Biosafety cabinet used to work sterile

f. Haemagglutination plate for viral culture detection

g. Specimen dish used for holding specimens

h. Agar plate or petri dish which acts as a form of supporting container to hold the culture medium

i. Tissue culture bottles used to grow and keep alive cells or tissues from living organisms.

j. Pre-sterilized disposable container which is used for collection of specimen etc

Answer 2

Explanation:

Cell culture is the process by which cells, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells, can be grown under controlled conditions. In practice, the term "cell culture" is normally used in reference to the culture of cells isolated from multicellular eukaryotes, especially animal cells. The historical and methodological development of cell culture is intimately linked to the cultivar peptides of tissue culture and organ culture.

Animal cell culture began to be a routine laboratory technique during the 50,1 years but the concept of keeping living cell lines separate from the tissue of origin was discovered in the 19th century.
