BEHRI~GWERRE ARTIENGE~ LLSCl~AFr 92/B 015 - Ma 930 Serum-freQ cell culture medium The invention relates to a nutrient medium for growing cells, which contains amino acids, vitamins, cofactors and inorganic salts but is free of animal proteins.

The production of modern drugs on a biotechnological basis is dependent in many cases on complicated eukary-otic cell culture production systems because many glyco-proteins cannot be produced in functionally active form in simple prokaryotes. These complex eukaryotic cell culture systems require nutrient media which, besides defined salts, vitamins, cofactors and amino acids (basal medium), contain a mixture of high molecular weight proteins or lipids, especially the costly fetal bovine serum (FBS). These high molecular weight constituents, which are required in large number and high concentration in the nutrient medium but are poorly defined and originate, for example, from fetal bovine serum, must after the fermenter production phase be separated by elaborate puri.fication processes from the drug which is to be produced. It is furthermore neces~ary to ensure that the FBS used contains no pathogenic agents.

It would be desirable to have a low-cost nutrient medium which makes it possible to grow a wide range of eukary-otic cell lines just as well as c09tly FB5-containing nutrient medium and which contains no animal foreign proteins.

It has been found, surpri~ingly, that it is possible to produce a defined, rea onably priced nutrient medium which permits the permanent growth of a large number of eukaryotic cell lines, comparably as wPll as FBS-contain-ing nutrient medium. It contains no animal proteins but, apart from amino acids, vitamins, cofactors and usual 20~'32~

inorganic salts, contains human transferrin, human insulin, ethanolamine and sodium selenite.

The invention relates to a nutrient medium for cell cultures containing amino acids, vitamins, cofactors and usual inorganic salts, which contains human transferrin, human insulin, ethanolamine and sodium selenite.

Clinically approved transferrin and insulin are preferably used.

It is possible to employ as medium which contains amino acids, vitamins, cofactors and inorganic salts ~basal medium) one of the media known in the prior art.

Basal media of this type are known, for example MEM alpha medium, DMEM/F 12 (1:1) medium, DME~ (Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium), William's medium E, Ham's F12 medium~

Other basal media can be used if sodium pyruvate is added in a concentration of 25-500, preferably 110 ~ g/l.
Examples of 1:hese basal media are: RPMI 1640 medium, CMRL 1066 medium, BME basal medium, Waymouth's medium, NCTC 135 medium, MEM (minimum essential medium).

Insulin and transferrin are added to one of these basa]
media so that the concentration reaches 6-20, preferably 8-12 mg/l insulin and 20-50, preferahly 30-40 mg/l transferrin in the medium.

Ethanolamine and sodium selenite are added to the basal medium so that the concentration reaches 1.3-20, prefer-ably 8-14 mg/l ethanolamine and 2-20, preferably 6-10 ~g/l sodium selenite in the medium.

L-Glutamine is added to the medium before use so that the concentration of this ~mino acid reaches 140-1200 mg/l, preferably 600 mg/l.

~xample:

A medium with the following composition was prepared. The amounts (in gram) relate to 200 liters of medium.

Basal medium components:

NaCl 1 280.00 KCl 80.00 MgSO4 7 H2O

Human insulin (Hoechst:PHFM) 2.00 Human transferrin (Behringwerke AG, p~oduct identifier: 0 TRE)7.00 Ethanolamine 1.68 ml Sodium selenite (1 mM) 9.4 ml Distilled water ad 200 l After addition of 600 mg/l glutamine, hybridomas and transfectomas were grown in this medium and, for compar-ison therewith, in FBS-containing basal medium (Dulbecco's medium + FBS). The result is ~hown in Table I. The cells were cultivated under standard cell culture condit;ion~ at 37C and 5 % CO2 in vapor-saturated atmosphere for the periods noted in Table I, and the live cell count and the product concentration were determined on aliquots.

The data demonstrate the equivalence of the DKHI medium in respect of cell growth and production efficiency to the D-FBS complete medium. The growth rates are the same for both media.

It was furthermore possible to cultivate human and rat tumor cell lines in the medium (Table II). The comparison media were DMEM + 10 % FBS and an ITES medium published by Murakami et al. (Proc. natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79, 2~2~

1158-116~, 1982).

The DK~I medium dif fer6 from the ITES medi~m in that it contains 13 mg/l insulin, 200 ~mol/l ethanolamine, 1 mmol/l pyru~ic acid and 3.75 g of sodium hydrogen carbonate/l, and no HEPES buffer (see Table III for comparison). These differences lead to an improved cell growth, as Table II documents.
