Successful Completion of Cell Testing for Production of Master Cell Bank

Not exactly...

Note in the prior telephone CC or whatever Kenny called it, he admitted the cell line itself was not homologous. He also mumbled about fetal calf serum to grow the cells was a problem. One now has Eurofin reporting they have solved problems associated with the growth of the cells. Then came this statement:

The growth evaluation of the cells is a necessary pre-step to produce the MCB

Yeah, being able to grow the cells in tissue culture bottles would be necessary. LOL And yes the FDA would require the "growth kinetics" be able to produce a homologous, and stable cell line. So where in that PR do they claim they now have a stable and homologous cell line as their Master Cell Bank? They don't. Instead they state:

Now the door is open for Eurofins to grow the cells that will be necessary to populate our Master Cell Bank. We have authorized Eurofins to begin production of the MCB.

The door is open to create the MCB only after they have a stable cell line. Until then they can't populate anything. Now stir in this nonsense:

This vital step in the overall product development process has been achieved using the optimal cell culture medium, which has only recently become available.

Someone should ask Kenny what magical cell culture medium has only recently become available? Growing tissue culture cells dates back to the 1950s. And tissue culture reagents are readily available. Kenny is making a big adoo over nothing. Good filler to elongate his pumps.

Besides needing a homologous cell line, they need to prove the cells (mouse) do not contain Xeno viruses, or capable of being tumorgenic in the host. The FDA will require it.

In summary the Kenny PR pump is trying to generate excitement by claiming they know how to grow mouse cells as a tissue culture cell line. Big whoop.
