Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is related to a cell culture medium for the expression of a protein, which medium comprises a PAM inhibitor, or a physiological equivalent thereof, and to a cell culture process for the expression of a protein, in which process a PAM inhibitor, or a physiological equivalent thereof, is used (FIG. 1 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cell culture process for the heterologous expression of a protein comprising cultivating cells in the presence of a peptidylglycine alpha amidating monooxigenase (PAM) inhibitor, or a physiological equivalent thereof, wherein cultivating cells is carried out in suspension culture, wherein the PAM inhibitor is 4-phenyl-3-butenoic acid (PBA), or a physiological equivalent thereof. 2. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the expression of a heterologous protein takes place in a mammalian cell based expression system. 3. The process according claim 1 , wherein said protein is at least one protein selected from the group consisting of an antibody, or a fragment or derivative thereof, a fusion protein, and non-antibody proteins. 4. The process according to claim 2 , wherein said mammalian cell-based expression system is at least one selected from the group consisting of Baby hamster Kidney cell lines, Chinese hamster ovary cell lines, Murine myeloma cell lines, Mouse myeloma cell line, Human embryonic kidney cell lines, Human-retina-derived cell lines, and Amniocyte cell lines. 5. The process according to claim 1 , wherein said process takes place in at least one bioreactor or culture vessel selected from the group consisting of shake flasks, T-flasks, roller bottles, bags, bioreactors, and spinner flasks. 6. The process according to claim 1 , wherein the PAM inhibitor, or a physiological equivalent thereof, serves to affect the formation of amidated amino acid residues, particularly C-terminal proline amide residues. 7. The process according to claim 1 , wherein 4-phenyl-3-butenoic acid (PBA), or a physiological equivalent thereof, is used in a concentration of >0.01 μM and <3M.
