A kind of perfusion culture method of mammalian cell
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of perfusion culture method of mammalian cell.
Background technology
Animal cell culture starts from the initial stage in this century, and its scale in 1962 begins to enlarge, and development has become the technological method that biology and medical research and Application Areas extensively adopt so far.The biological products such as enzyme, somatomedin, vaccine and monoclonal antibody that utilize animal cell culture production to have important medical value have accounted for 50% of world's biological high-technology produce market share, become the important component part of biological medicine hi-tech industry.
The animal cell large-scale culture technique is important link in the biotechnological pharmaceutics, can be divided into attached cell and suspension cell according to the growth characteristics of cell; Can be summarized as suspension culture and immobilization with regard to its cultural method cultivates; With regard to operating method, can be divided into batch-type, feed supplement-in batches or stream and add formula, semi continuous, continous way or four kinds of operating method of perfusion type.It is two kinds of the most frequently used in cell cultures pattern operating method that feeding culture and perfusion are cultivated
Produce the course of industrialization of albumen at present with the mammalian cell large scale culturing, can be regarded as with the stirring type bioreactor suspension culture as the current techique platform, use 3 kinds of cells (CHO, SP2/0, NSO) commonly used to rely on this platform technology and its throughput is improved.The characteristics of platform technology are to adopt serum-free culture and ripe stream to add and perfusion technology.
Continuously to cultivate be to be used for animal cell culture in recent years to produce a kind of mode that secretor type reorganization curative drug and genetic engineering antibodies such as chimeric antibody and humanized antibody are comparatively praised highly to perfusion.There is Genzyme in the company that uses continuous perfusion technology, Genetic Institute, Bayer company etc.Units such as domestic The Fourth Military Medical University, East China University of Science, Shanghai Inst. of Cytobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences have been engaged in the research of this respect.
With regard to the technology of stirring type bioreactor suspension culture zooblast, present international upper reaches adds or the viable cell density of perfusion culture biotechnology cell (as Chinese hamster ovary cell CHO, hybridoma hybridoma) can reach 10 7Level.Domestic people such as the Feng Qiang of The Fourth Military Medical University report in 2002 adopts 5L CelliGen reactor continous pouring to cultivate hybridoma, the relation of growth, metabolism situation and the oxygen consumption of research hybridoma in serum free medium is cultivated the 9th day cell density and is reached 8 * 10 6More than the cells/mL.
