Abstract

Lactate and ammonia are two major toxic waste products formed during mammalian cell culture. Accumulation of the side products have negative effects of on cell growth and specific production rate. In this study, K-562 cells were used as the host cell of a recombinant protein. Effects of carbon sources were invetigated focused on the cell culture span, the accumulation of lactate and ammonia in culture of recombinant K-562 cells.
