Abstract

A method of culture of human cells is disclosed which comprises effecting the cultivation in a culture medium containing an extract of micro algae, such as Chlorella, Scenedesmus or Spirulina, said method permitting the normal successive cultivation of human cells to be maintained efficiently without any morphological and genetic mutations over a greater number of successive of generations than has hitherto been possible even by the incorporation of animal serum in the culture medium, even when the addition amount of such animal serum is reduced substantially or animal serum is completely excluded.
