摘要:
This invention relates to methods for rationally designing cell culture media for use in cell cultures, e.g., cell cultures employed in polypeptide production; cell culture media designed with the disclosed methods; methods of producing a polypeptide of interest, e.g., an antibody, using such media; polypeptides produced using the methods and media disclosed herein; and pharmaceuticals compositions containing such polypeptides. The rationally designed media contain a concentration of an amino acid that is calculated for use in cell mass, a concentration of the amino acid that is calculated for use in cell maintenance, and a concentration of the amino acid that is calculated for incorporation into the polypeptide of interest.
摘要:
An improved system for large scale production of proteins and/or polypeptides in cell culture, particularly in media characterized by one or more of: i) a cumulative amino acid concentration greater than about 70 mM; ii) a molar cumulative glutamine to cumulative asparagine ratio of less than about 2; iii) a molar cumulative glutamine to cumulative total amino acid ratio of less than about 0.2; iv) a molar cumulative inorganic ion to cumulative total amino acid ratio between about 0.4 to 1; or v) a combined cumulative glutamine and cumulative asparagine concentration between about 16 and 36 mM, is provided. The use of such a system allows high levels of protein production and lessens accumulation of certain undesirable factors such as ammonium and/or lactate. Additionally, culture methods including a temperature shift, typically including a decrease in temperature when the culture has reached about 20-80% of it maximal cell density, are provided. Alternatively or additionally, the present invention provides methods such that, after reaching a peak, lactate and/or ammonium levels in the culture decrease over time.

An improved system for large scale production of polypeptides in cell culture is provided. In accordance with the present invention, cells expressing a polypeptide of interest are grown in media that contain copper, glutamate or both. The use of such a system allows production of polypeptides in which misfolding and/or aggregation are reduced, and in which total glycosylation is increased. Polypeptides expressed in accordance with the present invention may be advantageously used in the preparation of pharmaceutical, agricultural or other commercial compositions.

摘要:
Methods of producing a protein in cell culture comprising an anti-senescence compound, such as the antioxidant carnosine, are provided. According to teachings of the present invention, cells grown in a cell culture medium comprising an anti-senescence compound exhibit increased viability and productivity. Furthermore, cell cultures grown in the presence of an anti-senescence compound exhibit decreased levels of high molecular weight aggregates in the cell culture medium.
