    Notes: Abstract Although glutamine is used as a major substrate for the growth of mammalian cells in culture, it suffers from some disadvantages. Glutamine is deaminated through storage or by cellular metabolism, leading to the formation of ammonia which can result in growth inhibition. Non-ammoniagenic alternatives to glutamine have been investigated in an attempt to develop strategies for obtaining improved cell yields for ammonia sensitive cell lines. Glutamate is a suitable substitute for glutamine in some culture systems. A period of adaptation to glutamate is required during which the activity of glutamine synthetase and the rate of transport of glutamate both increase. The cell yield increases when the ammonia accumulation is decreased following culture supplementation with glutamate rather than glutamine. However some cell lines fail to adapt to growth in glutamate and this may be due to a low efficiency transport system. The glutamine-based dipeptides, ala-gln and gly-gln can substitute for glutamine in cultures of antibody-secreting hybridomas. The accumulation of ammonia in these cultures is less and cell yields in dipeptide-based media may be improved compared to glutamine-based controls. In murine hybridomas, a higher concentration of gly-gln is required to obtain comparable cell growth to ala-gln or gln-based cultures. This is attributed to a requirement for dipeptide hydrolysis catalyzed by an enzyme with higher affinity for ala-gln than gly-gln.

    Notes: Abstract In this report, we compare two different expression systems: baculovirus/Sf9 and stable recombinantDrosophila Schneider 2 (S2) cell lines. The construction of a recombinant S2 cell line is simple and quick, and in batch fermentations the cells have a doubling time of 20 hours until reaching a plateau density of 20 million cells/ml. Protein expression is driven by theDrosophila Metallothionein promoter which is tightly regulated. When expressed in S2 cells, the extracellular domain of human VCAM, an adhesion molecule, is indistinguishable from the same protein produced by baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells. Additionally, we present data on the expression of a seven trans-membrane protein, the dopamine D4 receptor, which has been successfully expressed in both systems. The receptor integrates correctly in the S2 membrane, binds [3H]spiperone with high affinity and exhibits pharmacological characteristics identical to that of the receptor expressed in Sf9 and mammalian cells. The general implications for large scale production of recombinant proteins are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has been used for the general detection ofMollicutes. 25Mycoplasma andAcholeplasma species were detected including important contaminants of cell cultures such asM. orale, M. arginini, M. hyorhinis, M. fermentans, A. laidlawii and additional human and animal mycoplasmas. PCR reactions were performed using a set of nested primers defined from conserved regions of the 16S rRNA gene. The detection limit was determined to be 1 fg mycoplasma DNA, which is equivalent to 1–2 genome copies of the 16S rRNA coding region. The identity of the amplification products was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis and restriction enzyme analysis. DNA from closely and distantly related micro-organisms did not give rise to specific amplification products. The method presented here offers a much more sensitive, specific and rapid assay for the detection of mycoplasmas than the existing ones.

    Notes: Abstract Hybridoma WuT3 secreting a monoclonal antibody against T lymphocytes was grown in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 1% human serum. The effect of the concentration of peptone, as an additive, was investigated on cell growth, monoclonal antibody formation, and cell metabolism over 0–10 g l−1 range. It was found that 1–5 g l−1 peptone can significantly promote the growth of cells and increase the formation of monoclonal antibody, especially at 3–5 g l−1, when both the accumulating level and secretion rate of monoclonal antibody are higher than that at other peptone concentrations. Based on glucose, lactate and ammonia analysis data, the efficiency of glycolysis was assessed and the utilization of amino acids was more efficient at 3–5 g l−1 peptone. The cell growth and monoclonal antibody formation were inhibited at higher peptone concentrations, e.g. 10 g l−1.

    Notes: Cell culture of Taxus cuspidata represents an alternative to whole plant extraction as a source of taxol and related taxanes. Feeding phenylalanine to callus cultures was previously shown to result in increased taxol yields, probably due to the involvement of this amino acid as a precursor for the N-benzoylphenylisoserine side chain of taxol. Inthis study, we have examined the effect of various concentrations of phenylalanine, benzoic acid, N-benzoylglycine, serine, glycine, alanine, and 3-amino-3-phenyl-propionic acid on taxol accumulation in 2-year-old cell suspensions of Taxus cuspidata, cell line FCL1F, and in developing callus cultures of T. cuspidata. All compounds tested were included in media at stationary phase (suspensions) or after the period of fastest growth (calli). Alanine and 3-amino-3-phenyl-propionicacid were tested only in callus cultures and did not affect taxol accumulation. Significant increases or trends toward increases in taxol accumulationin callus and suspensions were observed in the presence of phenylalanine, benzoic acid, N-benzoylglycine, serine, and glycine. The greatest increases in taxol accumulation were observed in the presence of various concentrations of phenylalanine (1 mM for callus; 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mM for suspensions) and benzoic acid (0.2 and 1 mM for callus and 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mM for suspensions). Increases in taxol yields of cell suspensions in the presence of the most effective precursors brought taxol amounts at stationary phase from 2 μg · g-1 to approximately 10 μg . g-1 of the extracted dry weight. The results are discussed in termsof possible implications to taxol biosynthesis and in terms of practical applications to large-scale cell culture systems for the production ofthis drug. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Many mammalian cell fed-batch processes rely on maintaining the cells in a viable and productive state for extended periods of time in order to reach high final concentrations of secreted protein. In the work described herein, a nonamplified NSO cell line was transfected with a vector expressing a recombinant human anti-HIV gp 120 monoclonal antibody (Mab) and a selectable marker, glutamine synthetase. A fed-batch process was developed which improved product yields tenfold over the yields reached in batch culture. In this case, the clone was cultured for a period of 22 days and produced 0.85 g Mab/L. To gauge the effect of extended culture lifetime on product quality, biochemical characteristics of MAb isolated from different time points in the fed-batch culture were determined. The apparent molecular weight of the MAb was constant throughout the course of the culture. Isoelectric focusing revealed four major charged species, with a fifth more acidic species appearing later in the culture. The antigen binding kinetics were constant for MAb isolated throughout the culture period. Glycosylation analysis, on the other hand, revealed that MAb produced later in the culture contained greater percentages of truncated N-acetylglucosamine and highmannose N-glycans. Possible contributions to this underglycosylated material from either cell lysis or synthesis from noviable cells were found to be negligible. Instead, the viable cells appeared to be secreting more truncated and high mannose MAb glycoforms as the culture progressed. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The on-line determination of the physiological state of a cell culture process requires reliable on-line measurements of various parameters and calculations of specific rates from these measurements. The cell concentration of a hybridoma culture was estimated on-line by measuring optical density (OD) with a laser turbidity probe. The oxygen uptake rate (OUR) was determined by monitoring dynamically dissolved oxygen concentration profiles and closing oxygen balances in the culture. The base addition for neutralizing lactate produced by cells was also monitored on-line via a balance. Using OD and OUR measurements, the specific growth and specific oxygen consumption rates were determined on-line. By combining predetermined stoichiometric relationships among oxygen and glucose consumption and lactate production, the specific glucose consumption and lactate production rates were also calculated on-line. Using these on-line measurements and calculations, the hybridoma culture process was characterized on-line by identifying the physiological states. They will also facilitate the implementation of nutrient feeding strategies for fed-batch and perfusion cultures. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Cell culture of Taxus cuspidata may represent an alternative to extraction of bark as a source of taxol and related taxanes. Cell suspensions of a cell line of T. cuspidata were grown for 44 days in shake flasks containing B5C2 medium. Throughout the growth cycle, fresh and dry weight accumulation, taxol yield on a dry weight basis, taxol accumulation in the medium, pH and pigmentation variation in the medium, as well as the uptake of sucrose, glucose, fructose, nitrate, and inorganic phosphate from the culture medium were examined. The results showed that the growth was relatively slow (doubling times of 17 and 20 days for fresh and dry weight, respectively), and taxol accumulation in the cells was non-growth related (higher in the stationary phase) and at relatively low levels (up to 4 μg/g of the extracted dry weight). Taxol concentration in the medium had two peaks: one during the early (0.4μg/mL) and another during the late (0.1-μg/mL) parts of the growth cycle. On a volumetric basis, the average total amount of taxol produced during the stationary phase (day 38) was 0.15 μg/mL, of which approximately 66% was in the medium and 34% was in the cells. Total carbohydrate uptake was closely associated with the increase in dry biomass. Sucrose was apparently extracellularly hydrolyzed after the first 6 days of culture; glucose was used before fructose. Nitrate was assimilated throughout the growth cycle, but phosphate was absorbed within the first week of culture. The pH variation showed an initial drop followed by a trend toward alkalinization for most of the growth period. Dark pigmentation in the medium increased progressively, particularly during the stationary phase. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The in vitro culture of human hematopoietic cells has many research and therapeutic applications. Traditionally, human hematopoietic cultures have been conducted using serum-containing media. The disadvantages inherent in the use of serum could be eliminated by the use of serum-free media. In this review, we summarize and discuss the current status of serum-free media for both mature and immature human hematopoietic cells. The mature hematopoietic cells discussed are of lymphoid (e.g., lymphokine activated killer cells and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes) and myeloid origin (e.g., monocytes/macrophages). The cultures of immature hematopoietic cells discussed are clonogenic and long-term cultures. In addition, we briefly review the types of human hematopoietic cells, their clinical applications, and the basic strategies and components used to formulate serum-free media, Finally, we outline future requirements and directions in the development of serum-free media for primitive hematopoietic cells.

    Notes: A new method for real-time monitoring of the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) in bioreactors, based on dissolved oxygen (DO) measurement at two points, has been developed and tested extensively. The method has several distinct advantages over known techniques.It enables the continuous and undisturbed monitoring of OUR, which is conventionally impossible without gas analyzers. The technique does not require knowledge of kLa. It provides smooth, robust, and reliable signal. The monitoring scheme is applicable to both microbial and mammalian cell bioprocesses of laboratory or industrial scale. The method was successfully used in the cultivation of NSO-derived murine myeloma cell line producing monoclonal antibody. It was found that while the OUR increased with the cell density, the specific OUR decreased to approximately one-half at cell concentrations of 16 × 106 cells/mL, indicating gradual reduction of cell respiration activity. Apart from the laboratory scale cultivation, the method was applied to industrial scale perfusion culture, as well as to processes using other cell lines. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Poly(vinylamine) was synthesized and used to replace poly-L-lysine in forming microcapsule with alginate. Test results indicated that capsules with good mechanical strength and permeability could be obtained under the controlled treatment conditions of poly(vinylamine) and alginate. Application of the current microcapsular system to cell culture was demonstrated by the usage of erythropoietin- (EPO-) producing IW32 mouse erythroleukemia cells. The encapsulated IW32 cells grew to a density of 8 × 107 cells/mL, two times that found in the corresponding poly-L-lysine/alginate capsules. The EPO accumulation inside the microcapsule with the current encapsulation system was also higher. A concentration of 7.3 U/mL was attained as compared to 4.3 U/mL in the poly-L-lysine/alginate microcapsule. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The effects of fluid-mechanical force (agitation) on the cell cycle kinetics of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells cultured in suspension in 2-L bioreactors has been examined. A two-color flow cytometry method was used to determine the fraction rate of DNA synthesis. With increased agitation intensity, cell viability decreased as a result of increased cell death. However, increased agitation induced the viable cells of the culture to a higher proliferative state relative to a control culture. The fraction of viable cells of the high-agitation culture (250 rpm) in S phase was higher (up to 45%) and in G1 phase was lower (up to 50%) compared with the viable cells of the control culture (80 rpm). The DNA synthesis rate per viable S-phase cell of the high-agitation culture was confirmed by recovery experiments, which were conducted to measure the apparent specific growth rate and the cell cycle kinetics of the high-agitation culture upon reduction in the agitation rate from 250 rpm back to 80 rpm. The apparent specific growth rate of the test culture, calculated for the first 12 h of the recovery period, was greater than the apparent specific growth rate of the control culture. Furthermore, the proliferative state of the viable cells of the test culture, which had become higher relative to the control culture during the high agitation period, gradually approached the level of the control culture during recovery. Results also show that the magnitude of the agitation intensity; the culture agitated at 250 rpm attained a greater proliferative state than a parallel culture agitated at 235 rpm. The 250-rpm culture had a higher fraction of S-phase and a lower fraction of G1-phase cells than the 235-rpm culture. The DNA sunthesis rate per viable S-phase cell of the 250-rpm culture was greater than of the 235-rpm culture. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A single-pass, plug-flow bioreactor has been developed in which oxygen is supplied to entrapped hybridoma cells via sllicone tubes threaded through the square channels of a macroporous ceramic monolith. Oxygen diffuses from the gas phase, through the silicone tubing, across the open square channel, and into the pores of the ceramic wall where it is consumed by entrapped cells. Advantages of such a reactor include higher product yields, protection of cells from detrimental hydrodynamic effects, no internal moving parts to compromise asepsis, and simplicity of operation. A prototype bioreactor was constructed and operated over a range of residence times. A side-by-side experimental comparison with a conventional recycle bioreactor was performed by inoculating both bioreactors with cells from the same stock culture and feeding medium from the same reservoir. Final antibody titers were 80% higher in the single-pass bioreactor at a residence time of 200 minutes compared with those of the recycle bioreactor at a residence time of 800 minutes. A theoretical analysis of oxygen transport in this bioreactor is developed to highlight important design criteria and operating strategies for scale-up. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Abstract We examined a serum-free medium (designated as TYI 101) for the generation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells from human lymphocytes, regional lymph node lymphocytes (RLNL) and peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). TYI 101 medium consisted of, in addition to nutrient mixture, transferrin, insulin, fetuin, sodium selenite, 2-mercaptoethanol, o-phosphorylethanolamine, chick egg yolk and porcine kidney extract. These hormones were effective for supporting RLNL proliferation as assessed by (3H)-thymidine uptake. When human lymphocytes from two different sources were cultivated with recombinant interleukin 2 (rIL-2) in TYI 101 medium, LAK activity was generated. In cultures of PBL from a healthy donor, LAK cells were generated in TYI 101 medium as efficiently as in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% human AB-type serum (RPMI-AB). In cultures of RLNL from lung cancer patients, LAK activity obtained in TYI 101 medium was about sixty-five percent of that in RPMI-AB. However, the addition of a small amount of AB-type serum improved the generation of LAK activity, LAK cell expansion, and cell viability in TYI 101 medium. We conclude that TYI 101 medium can be used for the generation of LAK cells from human lymph node lymphocytes with supplementation of none or only a reduced amount of human serum.

    Notes: Abstract We recently developed a new culture system based on dialysis perfusion (designated JCC-device) for the generation and expansion of human lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells (Murata et al., 1990). More recently we have scaled up the volume of the culture vessel of the JCC-device from 100 ml to 400 ml for clinical use. In the present study, using this new 400 ml JCC-device, we cultured human lymph node lymphocytes (LNL) obtained from 8 surgical patients with primary lung cancer, and investigated the cellular characteristics in comparison with a conventional batchwise culture system using tissue culture dishes. With the JCC-device, the cell density reached a maximum 2.7×107 cells/ml with greater than 90% viability by the appropriate exchange of perfusion medium and by making additions at the appropriate intervals for recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2). The expansion fold of LNL with the JCC-device, ranging 6.6- to 19.2-fold (mean 13.8-fold), was not significantly different from that in dish cultures. There was no marked difference in cell surface phenotypes between the two culture systems in 7 out of 8 cases. As for LAK activity of LNL, the JCC culture was either superior or equal in 4 out of 8 cases, but inferior in the other 4 cases to the conventional dish cultures. In the latter cases, the usage of serum for the JCC culture was limited, which might have resulted in the low LAK activity. The JCC-device was able to reduce the consumption of basal medium, rIL-2 and serum by 20%, 84% and 96%, respectively compared to the conventional tissue culture systems. The JCC-device improved the routine performance of adoptive immunotherapy with LAK cells and rIL-2.

    Notes: Abstract A new encapsulation method was developed for the cultivation of mammalian cells. The capsules were produced using a solution of sodium cellulose sulphate (CS)(1.5%) and poly-dimethyl-diallyl-ammoniumchloride (PDMDAAC). When CS droplets fell into the precipitation bath consisting of a 2% solution of PDMDAAC, immediately a membrane at the interphase was built up. The influences of varying encapsulation process parameters on capsule characteristics, cell growth, and monoclonal antibody production were tested. This new method showed advantages when compared to other methods mainly due to time simplicity of the whole process.

    Notes: Conclusion At the 1989 annual meeting of the U.S. Tissue Culture Associations, Ricahrd am, a leading investigator in the serum-free nutrient requirements of cultured cells, commented on the process of medium development. He noted that a survey of major media manufacturers revealed that, among the top selling mammalian cell culture media formulations, most were nearly thirty years old. This commentary is noteworthy considering the tremendous changes in cell culture understanding and derived applications which have emerged over these three decades. Fastidious cell types relatively unknown to investigators of the 1950s and 1960s are now being cultivated in defined, serum-free environments. Culture environments range from limiting dilution clonal recoveries to maintenance cultures approaching tissue densities. While research applications continue to predominate, applications of cell culture have expanded to the engineered production of biopharmaceuticals, to replacement of animal models for toxicology testing, and to the preservation, activation and expansion of human cells, tissues and organs. It is likely that future nutrient medium development will be predicated upon the design of a minimal number of defined formulations of relatively generic utility to a broad class of cell types. Analytical techniques derived from those described herein will be exploited in the user laboratory and in collaboration with the supplier to optimize the nutrient composition for the desired biological response.

    Notes: Abstract A model mammalian cell system for the production of recombinant proteins was investigated. Murine myeloma cells which had lost the ability to produce both heavy and light chain immunoglobulin molecules were transfected with a vector containing the immunoglobulin heavy chain promoter and enhancer elements linked to the human growth hormone gene. The growth kinetics of G32, a clonal isolate, were found to be similar to both the parent myeloma and hybridomas. However, production of hGH by G32 was growth associated, rather than as a secondary metabolite as is the case for hybridomas. In addition, G32 produced hGH at molar levels greater than most hybridomas.

    Notes: Abstract Primary cell cultures obtained from embryos of Mizuchopecten yessoensis (Bivalvia) survived for four months. Although the number of cells progressively decreased during the cultivation, mitotic cells were observed both at the first stages and at the end. A possibility of growing marine invertebrates cells in long term primary culture is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Fragments of cancellous and cortical bone from human maxilla and mandible were cultured by the explant technique. Cells isolated by trypsinization of primary cultures were characterized as osteoblasts on the basis of intracellular alkaline phosphatase activity, the constituents of the extracellular matrix, and response to human parathormone (PTH). In culture, the osteoblasts often gave rise to superposed clumps of large cells whose cytoplasm contained endoplasmic reticulum, numerous mitochondria, vacuoles, and a dense network of intermediate filaments, often at the level of the plasma membrane. In the presence of vitamin C and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, the osteoblasts produced an extracellular matrix composed of collagen type I and various non-collagenous proteins, including osteocalcin. Biochemical test results were comparable to those reported for osteoblasts of other origins (rat calvaria, human iliac crest), and namely elevated intracellular alkaline phosphatase activity and cAMP accumulation in response to stimulation by human PTH (1–34). Osteoblasts isolated in this manner were cultured in the presence of pure titanium disks to determine the effects of exposure to this metal. Electron microscopy revealed few significant differences in cell growth and specific enzyme activity compared to control osteoblasts grown on plastic dishes, reflecting the excellent biologic and biochemical relationship between the osteoblasts and pure titanium. This experimental system thus appears suitable for biocompatibility studies, and in particular, evaluation of dental implants.

    Notes: After a series of experiments on photoperiodicity and light intensity under daylight supplied by an ordinary fluorescent lamp in cultivations using a flask and a roux bottle, it was found that irradiation at 27.2 W/m2 for the whole period was effective for anthocyanin production by a suspended culture of Perilla frutescens (shiso). A high amount of anthocyanin pigments, 3.0 g/L, was obtained in a bubble column bioreactor after 10 days of cultivation at an aeration rate of 0.1 vvm with light irradiation at 27.2 W/m2, while 2 g/L was obtained at 13.6 W/m2 and very little at 54.4 W/m2. A high amount of anthocyanin pigments, 2.9 g/L, was also produced using an aerated and agitated bioreactor at an agitation speed of 130 rpm, an aeration rate of 0.1 vvm and light irradiation intensity of 27.2 W/m2. The amount of anthocyanin produced was more than twice that without light irradiation, Keeping the other cultivation conditions the same. The results obtained also showed that the amount of anthocyanin pigment accumulated in a shake flask could be rather well reproduced in bioreactors for both aerated culture, and aerated and agitated culture, by improving the conditions of light irradiation, which conspicuously affects metabolite formation.

    Notes: We report the development of new class of discrete models that can accurately describe the contact-inhibited proliferation of anchorage-dependent cells. The models are based on cellular automata, and they quantitatively account for contact inhibition phenomena occurring during all stages of the proliferation process: (a) the initial stage of “exponential” growth of cells without contact inhibition; (b) the second stage where cell colonies form and grow with few colony mergings; and (c) the final stage where proliferation rates are dominated by colony merging events. Model prediction are presented and analyzed to study the complicated dynamics of large cell populations and determine how the initial spatial cell distribution, the seeding density, and the geometry of the growth surface affect the observed proliferation rates. Finally, we present a model variant that can simulate contact-inhibited proliferation of asynchronous cell populations with arbitrary cell cycle-time distribution. The latter model can also compute the percentage of cells that are in a specific phase of their division cycle at a given time.

    Notes: A clonal derivative of a transfectant of the SP2/O myeloma cell line producing a chimeric monoclonal antibody was maintained in steady-state, continuous culture at dilution rates ranging from 0.21 to 1.04 day-1. The steady-state values for nonviable and total cell concentrations increased as the dilution rate decreased, while the viable cell concentration was roughly independent of the dilution rate. At steady state, the specific growth rate increased and the specific death rate decreased as the dilution rate increased. The maximum specific growth rate was 1.15 day-1. Antibody production was growth associated and the specific rate of antibody production increased linearly as the specific growth rate increased.

    Notes: A hybridoma cell line, AFP-27-P, was cultivated in continuous culture under glucose-limited conditions. The viable cell concentration, dead-cell concentration, and cell volume all varied with the dilution rate. A model previously developed for a nonproducing clone of the same cell line, AFP-27-NP, was extended to describe the behavior of the cells. The relationship between the specific growth rate and glucose concentration is described by a function similar to the Monod model. A threshold glucose concentration and a minimum specific growth rate are incorporated; the model is meaningful only at glucose concentration and a minimum specific growth rate are incorporated; the model is meaningful only at glucose concentrations and specific growth rates above these levels. The relationship between the death rate and the glucose concentration is described by an inverted Monod-type function. Furthermore, the yield coefficient based on glucose is constant in the lower range of specific growth rates and changes to a new constant value in the upper range of specific growth rates. No maintenance term for glucose consumption is used; in the plot of specific glucose consumption rate vs. specific growth rate, the line intercepts the specific growth rate at a value close to the minimum growth rate. The productivity of antibody as a function of the specific growth rate is described by a mixed type model with a noon-growth-associated term and a negative-growth-associated term. The values for the model parameters were determined from regression analysis of the steady state data.

    Notes: A concentric-cylinder airlift reactor, in which the annulus is a packed bed of glass fibers, has been developed in order to facilitate the scaleup and enhance the volumetric productivity of anchorage-dependent animal cell cultures. In this bio-reactor, oxygen-containing gas is sparged through the inner draft tube, causing bubble-free medium to flow through the fiber bed in the outer cylinder and providing both oxygenation and convective nutrient transfer to the cells. Several other desirable features for reactor operation are also provided by this design. Cell cultivations in this bioreactor have been successfully carried out and provide data for the feasibility of the large-scale cell cultivation.
