Cell culture production

Probably the most exciting aspect of molecular farming from the industrial perspective is the low initial capital investment compared with mammalian cell culture production. The reduced capital input reflects the lower costs of laboratory equipment and materials for plant molecular biology. For example, the costs involved in establishing small, non-sterile greenhouse facilities are dwarfed by those required for a sealed pilot fermentation plant. 

Metal complexation — One of the most insidious and widely occurrent sources of analytical variation in IEC is product complexation with metal ions. Most proteins can form complexes with metals, regardless of whether or not they are metalloproteins.1 Participant metal ions can derive from the cell culture production process, purification process buffers, or even stainless steel chromatography systems. Complexation can alter retention times, create aberrant peaks, and substantially increase peak width. To the extent that metal contamination of your sample is uncontrolled, so too will be the performance of your assay.

Recently however, it has been recognized that liquid extraction is a potential method in the primary recovery of fermentation cell culture products, such as proteins and amino acids. The separation problem, however, is difficult because the product mixtures are often complex, including cell debris and enzymes. Proteins are not suitable for conventional solvent extraction because of incompatibility with organic solvents, but can be handled in aqueous two-phase systems or by extraction in reverse micellar systems (Chapter 15). 

Figure 3.9. Generalized overview of the industrial-scale manufacture of recombinant E2 classical swine fever-based vaccine, using insect cell culture production systems. Clean (uninfected) cells are initially cultured in 500-1000 litre bioreactors for several days, followed by viral addition. Upon product recovery, viral inactivating agents such as /i-propiolactone or 2-bromoethyl-iminebromide are added in order to destroy any free viral particles in the product stream. No chromatographic purification is generally undertaken as the product is substantially pure the cell culture media is protein-free and the recombinant product is the only protein exported in any quantity by the producer cells. Excipients added can include liquid paraffin and polysorbate 80 (required to generate an emulsion). Thiomersal may also be added as a preservative. The final product generally displays a shelf-life of 18 months when stored refrigerated...

A significant contribution was made to the science of plant cell culture production of paditaxel. Methyl jasmonate solutions that had been pipetted into cell suspension cultures caused transient increases in paditaxel production [27]. This was the first report of modeling that indicated ethylene and methyl jasmonate may participate in cross-talk signal transduction in plants. Other papers have subsequently appeared which demonstrate enhancement of paditaxel productivity by the application of methyl jasmonate to several Taxus species [87,88].

The introduction of viability in Qmm was based on the results of Glacken et al. (1988) which demonstrated that cell culture productivity was affected by low viability these findings were also observed in our experiments that specific productivity decreased for CRL-1606 during death phase.

Somaclonal Variation and Secondary Product Synthesis. The induction and recovery of genetic variants by somaclonal variation technology can have a profound impact on the economic feasibility of secondary metabolite production. While most of the discussion up to this point has focused on cell culture production of secondary compounds, there are clearly a number of instances where whole plant production is both more efficient and economically prudent. This is especially true for those compounds...

The various strategies followed to obtain high producing cell lines will be briefly discussed separately (see Section II). The economics of a plant cell culture production process are discussed below (see Section III). For cell lines that do not produce, it will be necessary to learn more about the regulation of secondary metabolism in order to eventually be able to use genetic engineering for improving production (see below).

Dimerization of 2-amino-3,4,6-tri-0-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-glucose with l.l -thionyl-or sulfonyl-di-imidazole gave the fructosazine and bis-tetrahydropyrano-piper-azine derivatives 73 and 74 in a ratio of 1 5, respectively a related compound appeared in Vol. 25, p.l32. The P-carboline derivative 75, isolated as a natural product from a hybrid plant cell culture product, was synthesized in six steps from tryptamine and ( )-4,5,6-tri-0-acetyl-2,3-dideoxy-D-ery/Aro-hex-2-enose. Thiazolo-triazoles such as 76, termed acyclo-C-nucleosides, were obtained on deacetylation of the product from condensation of peracetylated D-gluconic or galactaric acids with 4-araino-3-aryl-l,2,4-triazole-5-thiols in the presence of POCls. The related 1,2,4-triazole 77 and dihydroimidazole 78 were obtained by condensation of D-glucono-1,5-lactone with aminoguanidine and ethylenedia-mine, respectively, followed by acetylation then O-deacetylation. ... 

Since the 1960s, surface modification has been used to enable cells to be cultured on normally inhospitable plastic. The marketing of plasma-treated polystyrene microplates, flasks, roller bottles and dishes has allowed cell culture to be carried out quickly and cheaply on disposable base materials, avoiding the need to culture in glass (in vitro) and reducing the possibility of cross-contamination. More recently, the challenges associated with the culture of primary and pluripotent cells and a focus on the reduction or elimination of animal-derived products in cell culture have stimulated the development of novel surface-coated cell culture products. 

Overview of Applications for Cell Culture Products and Tissue Engineering... 

Cell culture products, for example, monoclonal antibodies, are mostly secreted into the medium. Therefore, separation of cells as solid particles from the medium containing the desired product is comparatively simple, as it does not require any cell disruption. The product itself often has a complex structure, especially in case of glycosylated proteins, and high sensitivity against temperature, shear forces, extreme pH, or any proteolytic activity. Product concentrations in cell culture processes were regarded as low ( lgl ) for a long time due to low cell... 

In the following, the unit operations involved in DCP for cell culture products are surveyed briefly to highlight specific requirements. A detailed description of the techniques and apparatus can be found elsewhere [132,133].
