Proceedings of the 15th European Society for Animal Cell Technology (ESACT) Meeting held in Tours, France in September 1997. Provides an overview of the actual and future developments in the field of animal cell technology and on new applications in the classical fields covered by ESACT, as well as in associated areas. Contributions address biosynthesis and post-translational modification of recombinant proteins, cell physiology and metabolic engineering of animal cells, and integrated bioprocessing in animal cell technology. New engineering details, from cell retention devices to integrated bioprocesses are also covered. Sessions also deal with post- translational modifications and questions concerning the glycosylational of biologicals produced by animal cells. Animal cell metabolism and metabolic engineering are covered in depth, as are two traditional fields concerning in vitro testing and the development of new vaccines.
