摘要

The choice of media and feeds significantly influences the performance of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) mammalian cell cultures in producing desired biologics like monoclonal antibodies (mAb). Sub-optimal nutrient feed/media composition can severely impact cell proliferation and the quality of the final mAb product. For instance, proper protein glycosylation, crucial for mAb stability, safety, and efficacy, heavily relies on cell culture conditions. Currently, starter CHO culture media and daily supplemental feeds used in industrial manufacturing consist of proprietary composition of nutrients critical for mAb production. Standardized optimal media/feed combinations necessary for different cell lines are often lacking, necessitating individualized optimization for each cell line and mAb product. Here, we focused on a CHO-K1 cell line engineered to produce a Trastuzumab biosimilar and evaluated the effects of fourteen commercially relevant basal media and seven feeds on cell culture parameters such as viable cell density, viability, nutrient consumption, metabolite production, mAb titer, and mAb N-glycosylation. Our findings demonstrate clearly that the compositions of the basal medium and feed play a pivotal role in enhancing cell growth and mAb production. This work offers valuable insights into strategies for optimizing feed/media composition for glycosylated monoclonal antibody production using CHO cells.
