Abstract
A depth filter perfusion system (DFPS), equipped with a 40-mu m polypr opylene depth filter for cell immobilization, was used for the continu ous production of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) from recombinant Chinese hamster ovary cells. Final cell density in the DFPS with oxyg en control was 1.8x10(7) cells/mL of the total working volume and maxi mum t-PA productivity was 2.63 mg/L/day. Dissolved oxygen concentratio n in the filter matrix was successfully controlled by air sparging and stable operation was possible for more than 20 days.
