Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cell growth promoter and an application thereof are provided. The invention adopts Fe 2+ and ovalbumin to form a Fe 2+ -ovalbumin (OVA) compound to promote ovalbumin cell endocytosis, the cell growth promoter can maintain cell growth in an environment free of amino acids, promote cell proliferation in an environment with amino acids; and, the Fe 2+ -OVA compound can replace expensive animal serum albumin in cell culture, the cell growth promoter has a significant effect on improving cell viability and is low cost.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for improving a cell viability, comprising the steps of preparing a Fe 2+ -ovalbumin (OVA) compound by adding a solution of OVA to a solution of Fe 2+ and incubating at 37° C. for 15 minutes, wherein a molar ratio of the OVA to the Fe 2+ is 1:0.5-4; diluting the Fe 2+ -OVA compound in cell culture medium, wherein a final concentration of Fe 2+ added is 10-100 μM, and a final concentration of OVA added is 10-100 μM; and adding the cell culture medium containing the Fe 2+ -OVA compound to a mammalian cell, wherein the method is for non-diagnostic or non-therapeutic purposes. 2 . The method for improving the cell viability according to claim 1 , wherein the method is performed in an environment being free of an amino acid or animal serum albumin. 3 . The method for improving the cell viability according to claim 1 , wherein in the method, an animal serum albumin is replaced with the Fe 2+ -OVA compound.
