    摘要: Methods of production and apparatuses for production for stably producing healthy and functional platelets, and methods for determining operating conditions of an apparatus for producing platelets are provided. The present invention relates to methods of production comprising a step of culturing megakaryocytes in a platelet production medium C, wherein the step of culturing comprises a step of stirring a medium C in containers 1, 4 using stirring mechanisms 2, 5. In one method of production, the step of stirring comprises reciprocating stirring blades 21, 24 in the stirring mechanisms 2, 24 such that any of predetermined turbulent energy, shearing stresses, or Kolmogorov scale is produced, in the medium C. In another method of production, the step of stirring comprises pivoting a stirring blade 51 in the stirring mechanism 5 wherein a plurality of stationary members 53 is placed therearound in a bottom region 4e of the container 4 such that the step of stirring produces turbulence in the medium C. The present invention also relates to apparatuses for production for carrying out the method of production. The present invention also relates to a method for determining operating conditions of an apparatus for producing platelets.

    摘要: Healthy functional platelets are mass produced. A method for producing platelets, comprising: (1) a culture step of culturing megakaryocytes in a platelet producing medium in the presence of mechanical stress and platelet production promoting factors including MIF, NRDc, IGFBP2, TSP-1, PAI-1, and CCL5, and (2) a harvest step of harvesting the platelets obtained by the culture step; wherein the culture step comprises: (a) a step of promoting a release of the platelet production promoting factors from megakaryocytes by mechanical stress; and/or (b) a step of externally adding platelet production promoting factors including MIF, NRDc, and IGFBP2.
