Y. Inoue et al., Efficient production of recombinant human erythropoietin by replenishment of microcarriers in the hollow fiber culture cassette, BIOS BIOT B, 63(9), 1999, pp. 1624-1626
Human erythropoietin (EPO)-producing recombinant BHK tells were cultured in
culture medium containing microcarriers, and then microcarriers attached w
ith cells were replenished in the hollow fiber culture cassette. By culture
for 14 days, it was possible to produce 450 mu g of the recombinant EPO, w
hich corresponded to over two-fold of the recombinant EPO production by con
trol hollow fiber culture without microcarriers.
