Once upon a time, primary cells were notoriously difficult to culture, requiring lots of money, time, and resources.
Times are simpler now, with numerous companies selling ready-to-go primary cells complete with matching media and growth factors.
The field of specialized immune cell research is revving up like never before.
There are many types of T cells that researchers are interested in culturing and there are an endless variety of applications.
Choosing the right media is critical to optimizing T cell expansion, differentiation, and assays.
