• General description: The serum is the fluid part of the blood containing plasma without fibrinogen.[1]
• Application: Human Serum has been used:in the preparation of human serum samples that mimic the COVID-19 patient samples for serological antibody testing[2]as a media supplement to differentiate human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPS) to hiPS- brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMEC)[3]for culturing transgenic Plasmodium falciparum clone[4]for assessing the electrochemical response of recombinant P. falciparum parasite L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in serum samples[4]in platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) purification assays
• Biochem/physiol Actions: Serum serves as a supplement to basal media formulations and conventional biomedical cell culture media. It acts as a source of trace nutrients, signaling molecules, growth factors, and hormones that induce proper cell growth in vitro.[5] Human serum from platelet-poor plasma (PPP) is useful in the studies of the effects of platelet lysates on the growth of cells such as articular chondrocytes and human skin fibroblasts.
