Abstract:
A Super-Spinner was Modified by mounting a stainless steel filter(pore size 75 microns) to the impeller shaft to retain cells while fresh nutrient is perfused. Using Macroporous microcarrier Cytopore 1, continuously perfused cultivation of a recombinant CHO cell line, CHO2DS producing prothrombin was performed with the perfusion of a protein-free medium DF6S. The cell retention rate was more than 90% during the 24 days continuously perfused cultivation. The viable cell density of CHO2DS and prothrombin concentration reached 4.62 x 10(6)(cells.m/L) and 11.3(mg/L) respectively after 9 days culture.
