Definitions
- the present invention relates to nutritive mediums for animal cells and specifically to a nutritive medium for human leukocytes .
- animal cells are cultured in media, containing all necessary amino acids, vitamins, an energy source e.g. glucose and a balanced salt solution.
- the media can also contain trace amounts of different hormones such as insulin.
- the different components in the media can be altered depending on cell type and also the amount of the different components can be altered depending on the intended use.
- Some of these media are commercially avail- able such as EMEM (Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium) which is well suited for a broad spectrum of mammalian cells, RPMI 1640, which was originally formulated for suspension cultures or monolayer cultures of human leu- kaemic cells, and DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Me- dia) also well suited for broad spectrum of mammalian cells.
- EMEM Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium
- RPMI 1640 which was originally formulated for suspension cultures or monolayer cultures of human leu- kaemic cells
- DMEM Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Me- di
- bovine serum In many cases, sera such as bovine serum and the like are added thereto. The addition of for example bovine serum is often necessary for accomplishing the desired growth and viability of the cultured cells.
- desired products are secreted from the cells and following a purification procedure the desired product secreted from the cells may be obtained in a sufficiently pure form.
- the purity of the end-products are always depending of the purity of the starting material. By using a purer, less complex starting material, in this case the medium, the purified end product will then become purer compared to using a more complex medium.
- methionine as a component in serum free media for culturing animal cells is disclosed in EPO 501 435, which teaches the addition of methionine in an amount of 8.0 to 14.0 mg/1. Both higher and lower concentrations are rejected as lacking the desired effect.
- methionine is added to inhibit the oxidation of methionine residues with such polypeptides.
- methionine is added to a recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) formulation in amounts ranging from 0.01 to 0.3 % (w/v) or in a ratio of 10:1 - 100:1 to the methionine residues within the protein.
- rhEGF human epidermal growth factor
- a nutritive medium for protein producing cells consist essentially of the following components: an aqueous physiological saline solution containing Ca 2+ , K + , Mg 2+ and Na + , an energy source, a pH buffer and methionine in an amount of 0.015 - 2.0 g/litre, and optionally antibiotics .
- Preferred nutrient media have the compositions given in appended claims 2, 3 and 4.
- Another aspect of the invention is use of the nutrient medium for animal cells or human leukocytes.
- the medium is used in a production process for interferon.
- the inventive medium In comparison to the conventional and well known Eagle's Minimal Essential Medium (EMEM) the inventive medium totally lacks the a ino acid stock solution, the vitamin solution and folic acid solution, constituting in- tegrated parts of EMEM.
- EMEM Eagle's Minimal Essential Medium
- the inventive medium compared to the so called Cantell medium, first disclosed by Cantell et al. in 1981 ( Methods in Enzymology, vol. 78, 1981 ) and commonly used for the incubation of human leukocytes, the inventive medium contains MgCl 2 , NaH 2 P0 4 but lacks L-glutamine.
- Cantell et al. report that experiments aimed at identifying those ingredients in EMEM needed for optimum yields of interferon give conflicting results (see Example 2) .
- the inventive medium not only allows for the production of interferon with unreduced yields in comparison with EMEM. It also produces a marked improvement in yield in comparison with other simplified media.
- the less complex medium facilitates purification of the desired product and gives pronounced process economical benefits as the medium is easier to prepare and contains fewer media components to order, register and analyse etc.
- the inventive medium gives a more homoge- nous and more stable product with maintained yield.
- the invention is also applicable on other types of cells since the invention is of a general nature. For 4 growing cells, this is not the ideal medi.um but in a stationary phase or protein producing phase this medium gives many advantages as mentioned above. Thus, the invention can be applied on other protein-producing cells / cell-lines.
- the main components in the inventive medium are CaCl 2 , a pH-buffer, an energy source, KC1, NaCl and methionine.
- the exact amount of each component is depending on the cellconcentration used. A high cellconcentra- tion implies that more of most of the components are needed. Except for NaCl which has to be decreased in order to establish a physiological medium. Tricine is often used in cell cultures together with NaHC0 3 in order to keep the pH in an acceptable range. In the inventive pro- cess this range is between 7.0-8.0, most preferred 7.5, otherwise the viability and interferon yield will decrease.
- Other kinds of pH-buffers may also be used as long as they are non-toxic for the leukocytes.
- a too low amount will result in decreased effect and too high amount will cause lower interferon yields.
- About 75 mg methionine per litre has been found to work well for leukocyte concentrations between 6 x 10 9 and 10 x 10 9 , and a range of about 50 to 100 mg/litre is an especially preferred range. 5
- Figure 1 shows the HPLC chromatogram (subtype pattern) from purified interferon alpha proteins obtained from medium supplemented with 500 mg/1 of L-methionine (lower panel) in comparison with interferon proteins pu- rified from medium without L-methionine (upper panel), and Figure 2 shows also the HPLC peak-pattern (sub-type pattern) of the purified interferon alpha proteins using the HPLC-method but this time the addition of 500 mg/1 of L-methionine, added to the media before addition of leu- kocytes is compared with the addition of 500 mg/1 of L- methionine added directly after incubation.

- EXAMPLE 1 Comparative small scale experiments were performed in small flasks (volume 100 ml) with the following media (40 ml ) : EMEM (Eagle's minimal essential medium ) supplied by BioNative AB, Umea, Sweden, EMEM supplied by GIBCO and the inventive medium without L-methionine (BNL) .
- the compositions used are presented in Table 1.
- Table 1 Composition of different media COMPARISON BETWEEN EMEM / BNL/ GIBCO (tests performed in small flasks) The table shows the difference in composition between two commercially available media and the inventive medium without methionine.
- Table 1 shows the composition of the inventive medium without L-methionine (BNL) in comparison with two common, more complex commercially available media.
- the media When used for the production of natural interferon alpha the media are also supplemented with agamma-plasma (Cantell, 1978) (final concentration about 4%), neomycin sulphate solution 10% (0.25 ml/1) and priming (interferon-alpha added to a final concentration of 100 IU ml) .
- the inter- feron alpha yields obtained with these media are shown in Table 2.
- Human leukocytes were obtained from -buffy coats from different blood centres. The leukocytes were purified in several steps according to Cantell (1981) before incubated in different media.
- the blood bags were cut open and emptied.
- the blood was then centrifuged and the plasma fraction and the red blood cell (RBC) fraction were separated.
- the remaining leukocyte containing fraction was subjected to lysis (10 minutes) by adding 2 parts 0.8% NH 4 C1 to one part leukocyte fraction. After centrifugation of the lysate, the supernatant containing mainly lysed RBC was discarded and the leukocyte cells were recovered. This lysation and centrifugation step was repeated once and the resulting leukocyte suspension was added to the different media in equal amounts.
- the media was also supplemented with agamma-plasma (final concentration about 4% v/v) , neomycin sulphate solution 10% (0.25 ml/litre) and priming (100 IU interferon alpha/ml medium) .
- Agamma-plasma was prepared by centrifugation of separated plasma fractions recovered from several batches and then by precipitation of the supernatant through adding one part of 30% (w/w) Polyethylene glycol 6000 (Mac- rogol 6000) to four parts plasma. The mixture was centrifuged and the supernatant (agamma-plasma) was recovered. The precipitate, which contains IgG was discarded.
- a 40 ml leukocyte suspension was primed with interferon and incubated at 37.0 °C with magnetic stirring. After 1.5 hours Sendai virus is added. The incubation is continued for about 16 hours. Cells and debris were re- moved by centrifugation and the supernatant was recovered and its interferon concentration determined by an ELISA method.
- the Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is used for the quantitative analysis of Interferon ⁇ (IFN- ⁇ ) .
- the ELISA-standard is calibrated against the interna- tional reference preparation 69/19.
- a parallel incubation in EMEM was used as reference. The results are presented in Table 2. Table 2.
- results from the tests with different media (%) (EMEM/BNL/GIBCO, tests performed in small flasks)
- the table shows the results of interferon yield in percentage in comparison of two commercially available media and the inventive medium without methionine has been used for interferon production in small scale.
- the EMEM result is set to 100% interferon yield.
- Example 2 Comparative experiments were also performed in small flasks with other media, which are similar to the BNL medium) .
- the compositions used and yields are presented in Table 3.
- the leukocytes used in Example 2 were prepared in the same way as in Example 1
- Neomycin 10% 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25 0.25
- Test 1 (%) 100 104 9 Test 2 (%) 100 27 17 64
- Table 3 shows the interferon-alpha yields obtained with the inventive medium without L-methionine (BNL) in 11 comparison with more complex, commercially available me ⁇ dium (EMEM) and three other simplified media similar to the BNL-medium.
- CM cantell (1978)
- CMV CMV
- PBS PBS according to Dulbecco
- Table 4 shows the results from tests of dif ⁇ ferent amounts of L-methionine in BNLM medium.
- the leukocytes used in Example 3 were prepared in the same way as in Example 1.
- Test 1 100 118 101 100 - 94
- Test 3 100 102 92 85 83 -
- Table 4 shows the interferon-alpha yields obtained with the inventive mediium with L-methionine (BNLM) in different amounts in comparison with the inventive medium without L-methionine.
- the experiments were performed in 12 small scale, 40 ml medium.
- the upper panel in Table 4 shows the results of interferon concentrations from three tests where the amount of methionine has been varied.
- the lower panel shows the corresponding yield in percentage.
- the inventive medium without methionine result is set to 100% interferon yield.
- Comparative incubations were performed in pilot scale fermentors (Belach Bioteknik AB, volume 3 1) with different amounts of L-methionine in BNLM medium.
- the leukocytes used in Example 4 were prepared in the same way as in Example 1. The results are presented in Table 5.
- the interferon alpha secreted from the leukocytes out into the medium was purified by immunoaffinity chromatog- raphy and the purified interferon proteins were analysed by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) .
- Shown in Figure 1 are the HPLC chromatogram from purified samples of interferon produced by leuko- cytes incubated in BNL medium supplemented with 500 mg/1 of L-methionine (lower panel) and from interferon produced in medium without L-methionine (upper panel) .
- the stationary phase in the separating column consists of small uniform particles of surface-modified silica. Pro- teins or other molecules interact with the stationary phase through hydrophobic interactions. They can be selectively eluted from the column by increasing the amount of organic modifier (acetonitrile) in the mobile phase.
- a silica with coupled C4 (butyl) groups has been found to be useful for the separation of alpha interferon subtypes .
- the eluted subtypes display a characteristic peak- pattern in the chromatogram.
- a major peak eluting at about 50 min constitutes IFN- ⁇ l.
- a series of smaller peaks eluting with retention times 0.6 to 0.9 relative to the IFN- ⁇ l peak comprises the other IFN- ⁇ subtypes in the product.
- the splitting of peaks which is most likely due 13 to oxidation of methionine residues in the proteins, is decreased or undetectable when L-methionine is added to the medium. The effect is most pronounced for interferon subtypes alpha 1 and alpha 14 (see Figure 1, upper panel) .
- Test 1 94000 98000 - 92000 88000
- Test 1 100 105 - 99 94
- Example 4 The trial in Example 4 was repeated with one excep- tion. After incubation, 500 mg methionine/1 was added to the BNL medium without L-methionine when the crude interferon was harvested. Shown in Figure 2 are the HPLC chromatogram from purified samples of interferon produced by leukocytes incubated in BNL medium supplemented with 500 mg/1 of L-methionine (upper panel) and from interferon 14 produced in medium without L-methionine (.lower panel) but with 500 mg/1 of L-methionine added when harvesting. As can be seen, addition of methionine after incubation gives no effect on the interferon. The splitting of peaks remains. It is obvious that the methionine has to be present during incubation.
