Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cell culture medium additive comprising a xanthan polysaccharide and a mannan polysaccharide, such as a glucomannan or a galactomannan, that supports the growth of cells in suspension, and to a cell culture medium containing the additive. More particularly, but not exclusively, the present invention relates to a cell culture medium additive that supports the formation of multicellular bodies such as spheroids, and prevents sedimentation of cells without adversely affecting the physical properties of the cell culture medium.
