Horse Serum is a good source of growth factors and hormones required in cell culture studies and is also a good alternative to bovine serum.
Horse Serum has more immunoglobulin and protein content than fetal bovine serum (FBS). Horse Serum is also very commonly used as a blocking agent in immunological assays. Horse Serum is used in diagnostic tests, production of mycoplasmas, hematopoietic stem cells and neuronal cells.
