Definitions

  • the present invention relates to cell culturing devices, and in particular, it relates to cell culturing devices having a plurality of hollow fiber membran.es that efficiently transfer oxygen, nutrients and other chemical stimuli and remove waste products for the growth and maintenance of cells in vitro at high cell densities to provide high yields of product formation per unit reactor volume.
  • Hollow fiber culture devices have been proven to be ideal for the maintenance of many types of cells at high densities in vitro.
  • the mass transfer characteristics of hollow fiber culture devices provide an efficient means of delivering nutrients and removing waste products from a culture.
  • the semi-porous hollow fiber membranes can be selected with various pore sizes. With proper pore size selection, the cellular product can be maintained on the outside of the fibers, while waste products and contaminating proteins will pass through the membrane pores into the lumen of the hollow fibers where they can be subsequently removed from the culture.
  • Hollow fiber culture devices have many advantages over other culture technologies in economically producing cell-derived products. This is because the efficient mass transfer of nutrients and removal of waste products allows high cell densities to be achieved in a minimal space.
  • the molecular weight cut-offs of the fibers can be selected to maintain the cell product on the outside of the fibers, while lower molecular weight contaminates are removed by diffusing to the lumen of the fibers. In this manner, cell products concentrate in the fluid outside the fibers in a semi-pure state.
  • a major disadvantage of prior art hollow fiber culture devices is that the hollow fiber molecular weight cut-offs are generally specified under ultrafiltrative conditions and as a result, products of much larger molecular weights will pass through the lumen of the fibers. This problem becomes worse as the concentration of the product increases, the diffusion rates increase and a significant loss of product can occur.
  • the present invention includes a cell culturing device for growing and maintaining cells and collecting product.
  • the device includes first and second hollow fiber cartridges connected to each other such that the cells are grown and maintained in the first hollow fiber cartridge and product is conveyed to the second hollow fiber cartridge where it is concentrated.
  • Flow of medium from the lumen of the capillaries of the first hollow fiber cartridge to the capillaries of the second hollow fiber cartridge is restricted by a restriction that creates a back pressure in the flow of medium in the capillaries of the first hollow fiber cartridge.
  • the restriction permits medium to be delivered to the capillaries at a pressure that subjects the medium in the capillaries • to ultrafiltrative conditions.
  • the medium to ultrafiltrative conditions increases the mass transfer capability of the first hollow fiber cartridge and minimizes product loss by diffusion into the capillaries.
  • Product and metabolic waste are transferred from the first hollow fiber cartridge to the second hollow fiber cartridge.
  • the second hollow fiber cartridge has a molecular weight cut-off such that the product is selectively retained while the waste-containing medium is allowed to pass through. Due to the flow restriction between the first and second hollow fiber cartridges, the second hollow fiber cartridge is operated at a lower pressure than the first hollow fiber cartridge thereby aiding in the diffusion of waste contaminated medium.
  • the product in the second hollow fiber cartridge becomes concentrated over time and can be removed for further processing.
  • the device of the present invention has several advantages over prior art hollow fiber culture devices.
  • First, the first hollow fiber cartridge is operated under ultrafiltrative conditions using a larger molecular weight cut-off which permits better mass transfer.
  • Figure 1 is a diagrammatical view of the apparatus of the present invention.
  • Figure 2 is a diagrammatical view of an alternative embodiment containing an expansion chamber fluidly connected to and between the extracapillary units of the hollow fiber cartridges.
  • Figure 3 is a diagrammatical view of an alternative embodiment of the apparatus of Figure 2 further including a pump between the expansion chamber and the extracapillary space of the second hollow fiber cartridge.
  • Figure 4 is another alternative embodiment including sensors in the expansion chamber and a supply source for replenishing the medium in the expansion chamber.

  • the space between the shell 16 and the capillaries 18 is defined as a cell culturing space 24.
  • Cells such as mammalian cells, are maintained, grown and produce product in the cell culturing space 24.
  • the capillaries have selectively permeable wall membranes that allow oxygen, C ⁇ 2» nutrients and other chemical components to diffuse through the walls into the cell culturing space 24.
  • the molecular weight cut-off of the capillaries is preferably less than approximately 150,000 Daltons and more than 15,000 Daltons, although 5,000 Daltons has been found sufficient to effect ultrafiltrative conditions, as will be discussed subsequently.
  • the oxygen, co ' nutrients and other chemical components are carried within a medium that is transported through the lumen of the capillaries.
  • the second cartridge 14 is of a similar construction as the first cartridge 12.

  • the fluid connection 36 is made of tubing and includes a restriction 38, such as produced by a pinch clamp, that restricts flow from the capillaries of the first cartridge 12 to the capillaries of the second cartridge 14.
  • the restriction 38 produces a pressure drop between the first cartridge 12 and the second cartridge 14.
  • the restriction 38 aids in presentation of medium within the capillaries 18 under ultrafiltrative conditions. In addition, the restriction 38 aids in removal of waste-containing medium from product, as will be discussed subsequently.

Abstract

Un dispositif de culture à fibres creuses comprend une première cartouche de fibres creuses (12) et une seconde cartouche de fibres creuses (14), dont les capillaires (18) sont connectés en série par une connexion fluide (36) ayant à l'intérieur un étranglement d'écoulement (38). L'étranglement d'écoulement (38) établit une chute de pression entre les capillaires de la première (18) et de la seconde (28) cartouches et établit une contre-pression sur les capillaires de la première cartouche de fibres creuses de sorte que le milieu est administré par perfusion dans des conditions d'ultrafiltration. L'espace extracapillaire (34) de la première cartouche de fibres creuses est connecté par des moyens fluides à l'espace extracapillaire de la seconde cartouche de fibres creuses (14) de sorte que le milieu contenant le déchet et le produit est acheminé vers l'espace extracapillaire (34) de la seconde cartouche de fibres creuses où le produit est concentré et le milieu contenant le déchet est diffusé dans le passage des capillaires.
