This document discusses different types of animal cell culture techniques and cell lines. There are three main types of culture techniques: organ culture, explant culture, and disaggregation of tissue into individual cells. Cell cultures are described based on their origin (primary, extended, or established cell lines) and growth pattern (suspension or adherent). Primary cultures have limited growth and lifespan while established cell lines can grow indefinitely. Transformed cell lines are derived from tumors and grow autonomously without dependence on growth factors. Common adherent and suspension cell lines from different species and tissues are listed along with their morphologies.
