General description
Application
- as a standard to evaluate the physicochemical and biological characteristics of the crude sericin extracts
- as a growth medium supplement to culture to study its effect on the production of infectious Zika virus (ZIKV) particles by C6/36 and Vero cells, compared to serum-free cultures and cultures supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS)
- in the development and optimization of a bio-origami film for skin regeneration
Biochem/physiol Actions
Features and Benefits
- Sericin has cryoprotective properties that allow for replacement of fetal bovine serum (FBS) in cryopreservation media.
- 1% sericin (w/v) along with 0.5% (w/v) maltose, 0.3% (w/v) proline, 0.3% (w/v) glutamine and 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is comparable to 90% FBS and 10% DMSO.
- Sericin can act as a FBS replacement in cell culture and stimulate cell growth.
- In certain situations, it can inhibit cell death.
