46、E 11It is essential to recognize the various phases of cell growth,which includes adaptation (I), usually with decreasing cell population forone or more days, followed by log growth (II), usually referred to inpopulation doubling time, leading to monolayer confluency (III), andultimately to decline
47、(IV) in cell population by reason of senescence ortoxicity. In this connection, appropriate, periodic cell counts to confluency(IV) can be applied as described by Lontz (6).15.2 Following the attained confluency in the above AGF 0to 10 g/mL range, the minimal supplementation by AGF isnoted for use i
