The effects of ammonium ion on cell growth kinetics, monoclonal antibody productivity, and cell metabolism of hybridoma cells were investigated. The mouse-mouse hybridoma cell line VlIIH-8 producing mouse IgG2a was used as a model system. Ammonium ion showed an inhibitory effect on cell growth and monoclonal antibody production. New immobilized adsorbents were developed for the reduction of the inhibitory effect of ammonium ion. The ammonium ion selective zeolite, Phillipsite-Gismondine was entrapped in calcium alginate bead or in dialysis membrane and applied to the hybridoma cell culture system for the in situ removal of ammonium ion from culture media. The effects of ammonium the both serum supplemented and serum free media on the cell growth were studied by applying immobilized adsorbents of calcium alginate bead type. The results demonstrated a substantial enhancement in cell growth. Applying immobilized adsorbents of dialysis membrane type to serum supplemented media also resulted in the stimulation of cell growth, cell viability and monoclonal antibody production.

The possibility of application of membrane type immobilized adsorbent to the fed-batch or perfusion culture system with anchorage-independent cells as well as batch system was investigated. The improvement in cell density and cell viability due to the combination of immobilized adsorbent with each culture system was evaluated for the investigation, and the optimum culture system employing immobilized adsorbent system was suggested based on the results. It was observed that the system with immobilized adsorbent showed better cell growth and cell viability than that without immobilized adsorbent in every operation system of batch, fed-batch, and perfusion. In case of batch system, 200% improvement of maximum cell density was observed in the system where ammonium chloride was added on purpose. And 50% improvement of maximum cell density was observed in the fed-batch system where ammonium ion accumulates significantly, while small increase in maximum cell density was observed in the perfusion system where dilution of waste byproducts exists. Especially, the fed-batch system showed the most significant improvement on cell growth because both compensation of nutrient and removal of ammonium ion occurred simultaneously in the system. Therefore a combined system of immobilized adsorbent and fed-batch operation could be suggested as an optimum system with in situ removal of ammonium ion.

CHO 세포외 성장 및 생산성을 저해하는 엄포늄 이온의 동시 제거를 위해 PhJlhpsite~Gismondine 합성 zeolite가 alginate, cellulose acetate. dialysis membrane에 고정화된 흡착제가 개발되었다. 고정화 흡착체에 의한 암모늄 이온의 제거 효율 및 비에 따른 세표성장의 증진효과를 비교한 결과 최적의 고정화 흡착제로 membrane type이 선정되었다. 암모늄 이온의 제거 효파를 더욱더 명확하게 하고 고멸도의 세포 배양을 모사하가 위하여 8mM의 ammonium chloride를 첨가하고 membrane type 고정화 흡착제를 투여하여 암모늄 이온의 동시제거 효과를 조사한 결과 최대 세포 농도가 3배 이상 증가하였으며 생존율 역시 증가하였고 40%정도의 tPA 생산성 향상올 보여 주었다­. 이러한 증진 효과는 암모늄 이온의 고농도 시스템일수록 커졌다. 고정화 흡착제의 최적 투며 시기를 조사해본 결과 ammonium chlonde를 첨가하지 않았을 때 membrane type 고 정화 흡착제의 최적 투여 시기는 배양 시작 후 48시간이었고, 8mM의 ammonium chloride를 침가한 경우의 최적 투여 시기는 배양 시작 후 72시간이었다.

A high cell density culture system for the anchorage dependent CHO cells was developed based on the combination of in removal of ammonium ion and microcarrier culture system, and semi-fed-batch feeding of glucose and glutamine was employed to the developed culture system. The glass bead was selected as an optimum microcarrier in terms of cell growth. An ammonium ion selective zeolite, Phillipsite-Gismondine, was packed in a dialysis menium ion. The semi-fed-batch operation was employer to the novel culture system for the high density cell culture, and the results showed the cell growth was improved by 32% and tPA productivity by 250%.
