C.99700 MULTILAYER GAS-PERMEABLE CONTAINER FOR THE CULTURE OF ADHERENT AND NON-ADHERENT CELLS Technical Field This invention relates to multi- layer films, and containers formed therefrom for the in vitro culture of cells. Specifically, the invention is directed to a multi-layer, flexible, gas permeable container having an inner growing surface of polystyrene, which is conducive to the culture of cells.
Background Art There are two major types of cells grown in vitro : suspension cells (anchorage-independent cells) ; and adherent cells (anchorage-dependent cells) . Suspension or anchorage-independent cells can multiply, in vitro, without being attached to a surface. In contrast, adherent cells require attachment to a surface in order to grow in vitro. Additionally, some non-adherent cells grow best on a surface that promotes adherent cell growth .
It is known to grow adherent cells, in vitro, in polystyrene flasks. Polystyrene is the most common type of plastic used in the manufacture of rigid, gas impermeable cell culture flasks or plates. It is thought that polystyrene promotes the growth of adherent cells because of its ability to maintain electrostatic charges on its surface which attract oppositely charged proteins on the cell surfaces. However, to date, the available polystyrene culture containers have been of the rigid flask or plate type because polystyrene is known in the art as a rigid, gas- impermeable plastic.
Cells are commonly cultured in a growth medium within polystyrene or other containers placed in enclosed incubators. In addition to providing a certain degree of isolation from pathogens, the incubators maintain a constant temperature, usually 37°C, and a constant gas mixture . The gas mixture must be optimized for a given cell type, and be controlled for at least two parameters: (1) partial pressure of oxygen (p02) to serve the aerobic needs of the cells, and (2) partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pC02) to maintain the pH of the growth medium. Since the known types of rigid cell culture containers are gas impermeable, their lids or caps are not sealed onto the containers. Rather, they are offset sufficiently to allow gas exchange through a gap or vent between the cap and the container. Such a container is disadvantageous for clinical uses because the vent might allow contamination of the culture or lead to accidents involving biohazardous agents.
In addition to polystyrene flasks, others have constructed flexible, breathable containers for containing adherent cells to be grown in vitro . For example, the commonly assigned U.S. Patent No. 4,939,151 provides a gas-permeable bag with at least one access port. This allows for a closed system (ie., one without a vent) . The bag disclosed in the '151 Patent is constructed from two side walls. The first side wall is made of ethylene-vinyl acetate ("EVA") which may be positively or negatively charged. The second side wall is constructed from a gas permeable film such as ethylene-vinyl acetate or a polyolefin. The first side wall is sealed to the second side wal-l along their edges. While EVA can hold an electrostatic charge, the charge has the undesirable tendency to decay over time. Eventually, the decay will render the container ineffective for growing adherent cells.
It has been found that the cell growth rate within a sealed container may be influenced by the gas permeability characteristics of the container walls. The optimal gas requirements, however, vary by cell type and over the culture period. Thus, it is desirable to be able to adjust the gas permeability of the container. The polystyrene flask, and the flexible flask which is entirely constructed from a monofilm, do not provide for such adjustability.
Summary of the Invention and Objects The present invention provides a multi-layer, co-extruded film suitable for producing gas-permeable cell culture bags. The film has an ultra-thin first layer of polystyrene having a thickness from about 0.0001 inches to about 0.0010 inches. The film has second layer adhered to the first layer made of a polyolefin. The polyolefin acts as a flexible substrate for the polystyrene to provide a flexible, gas permeable film. Thus, the second layer is sometimes referred to as the substrate layer.
The film may also have an adhesive tie layer interposed between the first and second layers. The film may also have one or more additional outer layers of polyolefin (such as polypropylene) to provide strength and scratch resistance, as well as additional tie V 5 layers interposed between these additional layers .
The film most preferably has the following physical characteristics: (1) a mechanical modulus of between about 10,000 and 30,000 psi (ASTM D 790); (2) an oxygen permeability within the range of about 9-15 Barrers; (3) a carbon dioxide permeability of 40-80 Barrers; (4) a nitrogen permeability of 10-100 Barrers, and (5) a water vapor transmission rate of not more than 20 (g mil/100 in2/day) . Preferably, the film should have an optical clarity of between about 0.1% to about 10% as measured by a Hazometer in accordance with ASTM D1003.
The present invention also provides a flexible, gas-permeable cell culture container constructed from the above described films, with the polystyrene layer forming the inner surface of the container.
Another_ aspect of the present invention provides a flexible, gas-permeable cell culture container whose gas permeability may be adjusted to best match the requirements of the cell being cultured in the container.
The multi-layer structure of the present film allows one to vary the material of the second layer or substrate layer and its thickness to achieve the desired or predetermined gas permeability requirements for cell growth.
Preferably, the type and thickness of the substrate layer will be selected to optimize cell growth.
Another aspect of the invention provides for various embodiments of culture containers some of which are advantageous for growing adherent cells, non-adherent cells, and both.
Another aspect of the invention is to provide a flexible, gas permeable cell culture container having a first side that is suitable for growing adherent cells, a second side for growing non-adherent cells, and indicia on the container for indicating the first side from the second side.

I. The Film Components Figure 1 shows a two- layer film 10, of which the firs.t layer 12 of the film forms an inner cell growth surface when fabricated into a cell culture container 20 (Figure 2) .
The film 10 having an effective thickness to allow cell culture growth. The first layer 12 3 115794/2 is an ultra- hin layer of polystyrene, preferably having a thickness from about 0.0001 inches to about 0.0010 inches, more preferably 0.0002 inches to about 0.0006 inches, and most preferably about 0.0003 inches. The polystyrene material may be selected from, but not limited to, polystyrenes such as high impact polystyrenes ("HIPS") which are a general purpose polystyrene modified by polybutadiene rubber. Such a polystyrene is sold by Dow Chemical Company under the product designation Styron 47827, Natural.
The second layer 14 is composed of a polyolefin. Preferably, the polyolefin includes a polymer alloy comprising three components : styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene ("SEBS") block copolymer (40%-85% by weight), ethylene vinyl acetate (0-40% by weight) , and polypropylene (10%-40% by weight) as described in the commonly assigned U.S. Patent No. 4,140,162 which is incorporated herein by reference. Such a polymer alloy is sold by Baxter International Inc. under the product designation PL-732®.
It is also desirable to use, for the second layer 14, other three and four component polymer alloys such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,849,843 which is incorporated herein by reference. One such group of polymer alloys consists of a first component of a polypropylene which constitutes approximately 30-60% by weight of the polymer alloy. The second component is preferably an ultra low density polyethylene or polybutene-1 which constitute approximately 25-50% by weight of the polymer alloy.

In another embodiment of the invention (Fig.3), the film may include a first tie layer 16 interposed between the first and second layers 12 and 14. Preferably the first tie layer is a gas permeable olefin and more preferably an ethylene polymer containing vinyl acetate within the range of 16%-30% by weight and most preferably ethylene vinyl acetate with 28% vinyl acetate. Other examples of these polymers include those sold by Quantum Chemicals under the trade name Bynel. It is also possible to use SEBS block copolymers as the first tie layer such as those sold by Shell Chemical Company under the tradename Kraton.
The first tie layer 16 adheres the first layer 12 to the second layer 14. The first tie layer 16 has a thickness preferably within a range from about 0.0002 inches to about 0.0012 inches, more preferably from about 0.0004 inches to about 0.0010 inches, and most preferably about 0.0005 inches.
In yet another embodiment of the invention (Fig. 4) , the film shown in Figure 3 may also have a skin layer 18 adhered to the second layer 14 opposite the first layer 12, to form an outer skin which adds strength and scratch resistance to the film 10. The skin layer 18 is preferably formed from homo and copolymers of polypropylene, more preferably polypropylene, polymers modified by rubber.
Such polymers would include those sold by Mitsui under the trade name Admer™. The skin layer 18 preferably has a thickness within a range of from about 0.0001 inches to about 0.002 inches, and more preferably 0.0005 inches. The skin layer could also be composed of a polyethylene.
Figure 5 shows the film of figure 4 except with a second tie layer 19 interposed between the skin layer 18 and the substrate layer 14 to adhere the skin layer 18 to the substrate layer 14. The second tie layer 19 may be composed of similar components as identified for the first tie layer such as modified polyethylenes .
II. Construction of the Film and its Physical Characteristics In forming the film 10 of Figure 1, the ultra-thin layer of polystyrene 12 is co-extruded on the substrate layer 14 using a typical feedblock co-extrusion method.

Preferably the film should have an optical clarity within the range of about 0.1%-10% as measured by a Hazometer in accordance with ASTM D1003. The containers must also be capable of withstanding radiation sterilization at radiation levels commonly used in the industry for sterilization.
III. Fabrication of Flexible, Gas Permeable Cell Culture Containers We turn now to the gas-permeable , flexible cell culture container (20, Figure 2) formed from the multi-layer films described above. The cell culture container 20 includes a body 21 that is constructed from a first side wall 22 and an second side wall 24. The side walls 22 and 24 are sealed along their edges to define a containment area 26 for containing the cell culture media and cells. The side walls 22 and 24 may be sealed by any conventional means such as using heated die and platen which may be followed by a chill die and platen as is well known in the industry. Also, the side walls 22 and 24 may be sealed using inductive welding which also is known in the industry. For containers constructed from films having as the substrate layer 14 the polymer alloy including the dimer fatty acid polyamide, radio frequency techniques may be used. However, the present invention should not be construed to be limited to using any one of these fabrication techniques unless otherwise specified in the claims. 115794/2 13 It is possible to construct various flexible, gas permeable containers from the above film in conjunction with other materials.
A. The Non-Adherent Cell Culture Container Figure 6 shows a flexible, gas permeable cell culture container 20 especially useful for the growth of non-adherent cells. The container 20 is constructed from folding and sealing the film shown in Figure 1 to define a containment area . The first layer of polystyrene faces the containment area 26.
B. The Hybrid Cell Culture Bag Figure 7 shows a flexible, gas permeable cell culture container 10 which is suitable for the growth of both adherent- and non-adherent cell types. This container is essentially the same as the container set forth in Figure 6 except the first side wall 22 inner surface 28 is charged with an electrostatic charge of greater than 40 dynes/cm and preferably about 60 dynes/cm. The first side wall 22 with the charge is suitable for growing adherent cells and the second side wall 24 is suitable for growing non-adherent cells. It is desirable to use some indicia 31 to indicate the charged side from the uncharged side such as the perimeter geometry of the cell culture container (See Figure 7a) . This would include such structural features as a rounding of corners or notching any portion the container, or in any way of varying the shape or structural features of the container to indicate the charged side from the uncharged side. It is also possible to have a raised or embossed area on one side of the container. It is also possible to use color coding or other printed indicia for distinguishing the charged and uncharged sides 22 and 24.
C. Non-Adherent Cell Culture Container with a Clear Panel Figure 8 shows a flexible, gas permeable cell culture container having a first side wall 22 constructed from the film shown in Figure 1. The second side wall 24' is constructed from a film having a substrate 30 of ethylene vinyl acetate having a vinyl acetate content of 18% ± 2% and an inner layer 32 of HIPS. The first and second side walls 22 and 24' are bonded along their edges as set forth above or by any suitable method. The second side wall 24' has an optical clarity as measured by a Hazometer in accordance with ASTM D1003 within the range of 0.1%-10% which provides for ease of viewing the cells using a microscope or with the naked eye. The first side wall 22 would serve as the cell growth surface for non-adherent cells. It is also possible to apply an electrostatic charge to the inner surface 28 of the side wall 22 to provide for a growing surface for adherent cells.
Preferably each of the containers 20 shown in Figures 6-8 will include access ports 40 as shown in Figure 9. The access ports 40 facilitate filling and emptying of the container 20 of cells or cell culture media without interrupting the closed system. Of course, any number of access ports can be provided as well as a tube set assembly, or the like.
D. Other Containers It is also desirable to construct containers using the films shown in Figures 3-5.
IV. Method of Providing Adjustable Gas Permeability- It is desirable to construct a flexible cell culture container 10 having a predetermined gas permeability. The predetermined gas permeability selected promotes cell growth within the container 10. Preferably, the selected permeability optimizes cell growth.
The gas permeability depends upon the types of polyolefxn second layer, the thickness of the individual layers, and the overall thickness of the film.
Thus, the method of constructing or fabricating a gas permeable, cell growth container having a predetermined gas permeability comprises the following steps: providing a polystyrene, providing an appropriate polyolefxn substrate layer, and coextruding the polystyrene and the polyolefxn producing a layered film having a gas permeability to effect cell growth. Preferably, the cell growth will be optimal.
Example 1 A film in accordance with the present invention was coextruded from a 0.0003 inch thick layer of polystyrene (K-resin, HIPS) on a 0.0075 inch thick layer of polyolefin alloy (PL-732®) . A portion of the film was corona discharge treated. The film was formed into a flexible container or bag using a heat seal process. A length of film was cut from a roll of coextruded film. Port fitments, described in the commonly assigned U.S. Patent No. 4,327,726, which is incorporated herein by reference, were heat sealed to the film near the midpoint of the length. The film was folded across the width of the sheet, near the sealed port fitments. The folded sheet with port fitments was placed on a heated brass platen and heat sealed using a heated brass die. The die and platen were operated at a constant temperature, the die at 280°F, and the platen at 370°F. No chilling dies or devices were employed. After sealing the container, the container was removed from the platen and allowed to air cool. Port closures were solvent bonded to the port fitments as is known in the art .
The bags were radiation sterilized and employed in cell culture studies of human progenitor cells. The bags were used to culture progenitor cells in a 10-12 day period in vitro culture. Progenitor cells were derived from purified CD34+ cells (stem cells) collected from peripheral blood as mobilized stem cells during a leukopheresis procedure. The cells were cultured via a process described in U.S. Patent No. 5,700,691 which is incorporated herein by reference. Cocx traded cell culture bags were seded at a cell density of 0.1-lxlO5 (cells/ml). Coextruded culture bags were able to support an increase in the total number of viable cells during the 10-12 day culture period. Typical increases of 40-70 fold were observed. Cell proliferation in excess of 100 fold has been obtained in the culture bags using recombinant growth factors known to support progenitor cell growth in vitro. In addition to the increase in cell number, the culture bags were able to support an increase in Colony Forming Cells ("CFC") and early granulocytes as determined by flow cytometry and cytological staining.
It is understood that, given the above description of the embodiments of the invention, various modifications may be made by one skilled in the art. Such modifications are intended to be encompassed by the claims below. 115794/2
