Course details
During the 2nd week of the Animal Cell Culture microcredential, you will continue sub-culturing cells to acquire the repetition and practice needed to master good aseptic technique. You will also learn how to prepare cells (aseptically) in 96-well plates and perform an ELISA and cell proliferation assay. Classroom time (~5 hours in-person or online) will be scheduled in between lab activities (~20 hours) to review procedures and further expand your knowledge base. Topics will include the types of cell-based assays and molecular analyses used to measure gene expression and recombinant protein or virus production. The course will end with a practical exam to assess your competency in animal cell culture with good aseptic technique.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the trainee will be able to:
- Explain some typical cell-based and molecular analyses that are performed with animal cells.
- Understand how animal cell culture is used in the production and biomanufacturing of recombinant proteins and viruses.
- Prepare animal cells for cell-based assays and molecular analyses.
- Analyze cell proliferation using a metabolic assay.
- Analyze protein secretion using an ELISA.
- Throughout XBIO 4020, the trainee will also continue to practice and increase their competency in performing routine cell culture that they began to develop in XBIO 4010.
