Continuous hybridoma culture in a low-protein serum-free medium supplemented with liposomes

A homemade serum-free medium containing a low protein level under 0.1 g l⁻¹ has been proved to support long-term cultures of VO 208 hybridoma cells successfully up to 50 days. The low protein level was achieved by supplying the lipids through liposomes containing cholesterol, oleic acid, - dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine, and bovine serum albumin. The influence of the liposome content in the feeding medium was studied in a continuous culture performed with step variations of the liposomes level, from 7.5 to 30 ml l⁻¹. The cell density decreased at the highest liposomes content while it became higher with 7.5 or 12 ml l⁻¹ of liposomes. For each step variation appeared a transitory activation of the specific rates of nutrient consumption, metabolite production and antibody secretion, as well as a transitory decrease of the specific cell growth rate. The overall structure of the antibodies was not affected during the culture.

Perfusion culture apparatus for suspended mammalian cells

A variety of processes have been proposed for mammalian cell culture in the commercial production of useful substances (e.g., monoclonal antibodies, therapeutic and diagnostics proteins). Among them, the perfusion culture of suspended non-immobilized cells is the most advantageous. Perfusion culture can be classified by the separation process of suspended cells from the culture mixture into three types, namely filtration, gravitational settling and centrifugation. From a commercial point of view, the present situation and technical problems of suspended-cell perfusion culture will be reviewed based on the three types, The recent development of perfusion culture has been carried out mainly on the filtration separation process, but the centrifugation process seems to have a promising future because of operation stability and scale-up feasibility. The reasons will be explained in details.     

Biotechnological applications of plant cells in culture

For many workers, the most exciting recent advances in the realm of plant cell biotechnology, center on results obtained from experiments concerned with the genetic engineering of plant cells. Various groups of workers have managed to introduce new genetic material into plant cells, using Ti-plasmids (or modified Ti-plasmids) from Agrobacterium tumefaciens. This genetic material has been expressed (with varying degrees of efficiency), in each case. Thus the way may possibly be coming clear to produce plant cell cultures, or whole plants with entirely new or novel properties. Other areas in which progress has been made, are in the design of media conditions to promote secondary product formation, and in ways of immobilizing plant cells and enzymes, to achieve efficient secondary product formation.

Bioreactors for surface-immobilized cells

Surface immobilization of plant cells avoids the problem of hydrodynamic or shear stress, which tends to be characteristic of suspended cells cultured in typical, mechanically agitated bioreactor systems. Surface immobilization also promotes the natural tendency for plant cells to aggregate, which may improve the synthesis and accumulation of secondary metabolites. In addition, exchange of medium is made simple in surface-immobilized systems, and extracellular secondary products are easily recovered on a continuous basis. However, problems related to regulation of the thickness of the immobilized cell layer, maintenance of the biomass in a productive condition, and vacuolar retention of secondary products have yet to be resolved satisfactorily. This review focusses on two surface-immobilization technologies, differing primarily in the nature and the configuration of the inert support. Prototypes of these designs have been applied to a variety of plant cell systems at bioreactor volumes up to 20 litres. Results obtained with several alternative technologies are also summarized.Abbreviations 2,4-D 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - SIPCB surface-immobilized plant cell bioreactor National Research Council of Canada publication no. 38460     

Analysis of the use of fortified medium in continuous culture of mammalian cells

Continuous culture is frequently used in the cultivation of mammalian cells for the manufacturing of recombinant protein pharmaceuticals. In such operations a large volume of medium is turned over each day, especially in the case where cell recycle, or perfusion cultivation, is practiced. In principle, the volumetric throughput of medium can be reduced by using a more concentrated feed while maintaining the same nutrient provision rate. Overall, the medium components are divided into two categories: ‘consumable nutrients' and ‘unconsumable inorganic bulk salts’. In such fortified medium, the concentrations of consumable nutrients, but not bulk salts, are increased. With a stoichiometrically-balanced medium, the large amount of nutrients fed into the culture is largely consumed by cells to give rise to residual concentrations of these nutrients in their optimal range. However, unless care is taken to initiate the continuous culture, overshoot of nutrients may occur during the transient period. The high nutrient concentration during overshoot may be inhibitory by itself, or the resulting high osmolality may retard the growth. Using a mathematical model that incorporates the growth inhibitory effect of high osmolality we demonstrate such a potentially catastrophic effect of nutrient and osmolality overshoot by simulation. To avoid overshoot a controlled nutrient feeding scheme should be devised at the initiation of continuous culture.

Rat pleural mesothelial cells in culture

Summary A culture system has been developed for long-term maintenance of rat pleural mesothelial cells. Mesothelial cells were isolated from the parietal pleura of rats and cultured in NCTC 109 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. The cell explants attached to the dish and formed a confluent monolayer of polygonal cells within 10 to 15 days. Subcultures were made in the same medium. The mean population doubling time was approximately 30 hr. The ultrastructure of the mesothelial cells in culture was studied by light and electron microscopy and was compared with that of cells obtained from submesothelial components.

两个苏丹草品系成熟种子的组织培养和植株再生研究

该研究以苏丹草品系S722和Sa的成熟种子为外植体、MS培养基为基础培养基,2,4-D和NAA各3个浓度共6个处理对这两个苏丹草品系成熟种子进行愈伤诱导,探讨不同品系在不同植物生长物质浓度及植物生长物质组合中诱导愈伤组织和继代培养以及分化的能力。结果表明：苏丹草S722和Sa成熟种子的愈伤诱导率差异不显著,平均诱导率为17.19％。诱导培养基中2,4-D浓度为0.5或1 mg?L-1时,诱导效果最佳,而添加NAA不能提高愈伤诱导率。在继代培养中,设定2,4-D和6-BA各两个浓度共4个处理组合,处理1(2,4-D 1 mg?L-1＋6-BA 0 mg?L-1)的继代培养效果最佳。为了解不同植物生长物质对愈伤分化的影响,设定6-BA、NAA 各两个不同浓度、KT 3个不同浓度共5个处理组合对继代培养的愈伤进行分化培养。在5个处理中,处理1(6-BA 2 mg?L-1＋NAA 0 mg?L-1＋KT 0 mg?L-1)对 S722成熟种子诱导的愈伤分化率最高,达33.3％。在这两个苏丹草品系中,S722更容易分化培养。综上结果表明,2,4-D浓度为1 mg?L-1时诱导愈伤和继代培养效果较好,6-BA浓度为2 mg?L-1时分化效果较好。另外,针对不同苏丹草品系进行组织培养和植株再生时,适当调整植物生长物质浓度能提高植株再生的成功率。     

Critical influence of Eschscholzia californica cells nutritional state on secondary metabolite production

In this study, we investigated the influence of initial internal nutrient concentrations at the time of elicitation on the ability of Eschscholzia californica (EC) cells to produce alkaloids. Three EC cell suspensions cultivated in culture media differing in their PO4(3-) and NO3- contents were sampled daily for 12 days and analyzed for extracellular and intracellular nutrient concentrations. The ability of the cells to produce alkaloids was tested along the three cell suspension cultures. Sampled cells were then further cultured for 7 days in a production medium containing the elicitor and an extraction resin. The alkaloid production of the cells was measured 7 days post-elicitation. In the low-N medium, starch, glucose, and phosphate contents in the biomass was increased by 470, 1624 and 70%, respectively, 10 days after inoculation compared to the control culture in standard B5 medium. Cell concentration was significantly reduced from 10.3 to 8.6 millions cell/mL on this low-N medium compared to the control, nevertheless alkaloid production was multiplied by 39 at day 10 when cells were elicited. Cells grown on the low-N or low-P media accumulated 83% and 188% more carbon, respectively, than control cells at the end of the culture. This intracellular C was mainly stored in the form of starch in low-P medium and both in the form of starch and glucose in the low-N medium. The ability of EC cells to produce alkaloids upon elicitation was shown to be strongly dependent on the initial intracellular C and P content at the time of elicitation. This suggests that reproducibility and productivity during EC cell culture could be enhanced by manipulating the intracellular C and P content at the time of elicitation.     

Continuous column culture system for adherent cells

A new continuous column culture system for adherent cells was developed using beads. The beads were packed in a column and an appropriate medium was continuously passed through. The whole system was kept under closed conditions. L cells and C6 cells were cultured by this new system. The number of cells increased linearly up to 16 days and reached a maximum at around 18 days. As the heat production remained constant for 16 days, it can be concluded that cells grown in this system had identical characteristics. The final concentration of cells reached was 1.0 × 10⁸ml^?1. The cells could grow both in the upward and the downward direction. Advantages of this system are: (1) Cells can be recovered in their adherent form on the beads; (2) cells can easily be collected from the column by trypsinization, and (3) cells remaining in the column after trypsinization can grow again.     

Kinetics of recombinant immunoglobulin production by mammalian cells in continuous culture

A clonal derivative of a transfectant of the SP2/O myeloma cell line producing a chimeric monoclonal antibody was maintained in steady-state, continuous culture at dilution rates ranging from 0.21 to 1.04 day(-1). The steady-state values for nonviable and total cell concentrations increased as the dilution rate decreased, while the viable cell concentration was roughly independent of the dilution rate. At steady state, the specific growth rate increased and the specific death rate decreased as the dilution rate increased. The maximum specific growth rate was 1.15 day(-1). Antibody production was growth associated and the specific rate of antibody production increased linearly as the specific growth rate increased.     

A fluidised bed vessel for the culture of immobilised plant cells and its application for the continuous production of fine cell suspensions

With the expansion of immobilised plant cell technology the need has arisen for a suitable vessel in which systems can be efficiently manipulated.Described is a vessel which incorporates many of the features of a fluidised bed, together with some of those from airlift technology to enable immobilised plant cells to be cultured at high biomass concentrations while maintaining a high mass transfer and controlled aeration under continuous flow conditions. In the case described, the vessel has been used for the continuous production of fine plant cell suspensions, although it is easily adaptable for use in cell mediated biotransformation or de novo synthesis studies.Abbreviations 2,4D 2.4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid     

Comparison of substrate utilization and growth kinetics between immobilized and suspended Pseudomonas cells

A methodology is described for measurement if immobilized and suspended cell growth and substrate utilization kinetics parameters. Substrate utilization and growth kinetics were compared between immobilized and suspended cells for toluene degrading Pseudomonas strains K3-2 and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) degrading strain DBO131(pR0101), respectively. Kinetic parameters were estimated using nonlinear parameter estimation methods and compared between the immobilized and suspended Pseudomonas cells to determine the effect of immobilization on cellular growth and substrate utilization. Factors influencing the experimental design included calculated oxygen flux rates, primary carbon substrate flux rates, and shear stresses on the immobilize cell. Statistical interpretation of the cellular reaction rate parameters indicates that only the growth kinetics of the toluene system were significantly altered upon immobilization. Substrate utilization kinetics remained unchanged upon immobilization. The substrate growth associated half-saturation constant (K(g)) for the toluene system increased by 30-fold and the maximum specific growth rate (mu(max)) decreased by 2-fold upon immobilization. Implication of these results for experimental determination of cellular kinetic parameters and for immobilization cell bioreactors design are discussed. (c) 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Testing of different antibiotics against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria isolated from plant tissue culture

Different Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Staphylococcus xylosus, S. aureus, S. cohnii, Bacillus sp., Corynebacterium sp., Pseudomonas vesicularis) were isolated from homogenized shoot tips of Drosera rotundifolia, Spatiphyllum sp., Syngonium cv. White butterfly, Nephrolepis exaltata cv. Teddy Junior. Growth inhibition of selected bacterial strains was examined using 28 different single antibiotics and 7 antibiotic mixtures. It was found that with the two mixtures Imipenem/Ampicillin and Imipenem/Penicillin G at concentrations of 5 mg l^–1 each, bacterial growth inhibition was most effective. Because of the lack of toxic effects on in vitro plants of 7 species it was proposed that these antibiotic mixtures can be applied advantageously to inhibit bacterial growth in tissue culture.
