Cell Culture Engineering XV
One of the key goals in process development for monoclonal antibodies is to improve productivity and product quality as needed. The early stage cell culture process developed for an antibody had titers averaging 4 g/L and variable aggregates levels within cell culture. Through process optimization work, involving changes in media formulations, feeding strategy, and process parameters, the final optimized process achieved industry leading titers (greater than 10 g/L) with consistently lower aggregate levels. To understand the impact of process optimization on the CHO cell metabolism and intracellular environment we evaluated 4 conditions: Early stage cell culture process, 2 intermediate processes, …

Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering Faculty Working Papers
Through a series of biochemical and histochemical experiments we explored the novel hypothesis that iron and free fatty acids, liberated after tissue injury, combine to form liposoluble complexes that directly initiate lipid peroxidation. The addition of 100 M ferric iron to 30 mM linoleate suspensions at pH 7.4 produced time dependent lipid peroxidation, measured as conjugated diene formation. Complexes of 100 M ferric iron and 600 M pentanoate also initiated formation of conjugated dienes in linoleate suspensions and formation of malondialdehyde-like materials in rat liver slices. A histochemical stain for free fatty acids revealed positive reactions within cell membranes in …
