Abstract:
Methods of improving the efficiency of production of a protein product of interest in mammalian cell culture are presented. In particular, the methods result in an increase in the quantity of a protein product produced, or decreases protein product production time in a manufacturing-scale bioreactor cell culture. The disclosed methods comprise: (a) culturing the N-1 bioreactor culture to high viable cell densities; and (b) seeding the production bioreactor culture at high viable cell seeding densities.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to methods of producing polypeptide of interest in cell cultures lacking glutamine. The present invention further pertains to a method of producing a protein of interest in a large scale cell culture, comprising supplementing the cell culture with nucleic acid synthesis precursors and/or corticosteroids.
