Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a process for producing a desired polypeptide using rat cells. Specifically, the present invention relates to a process for producing the polypeptide which comprises culturing rat cells such as YB2/3HL.P2.G11.16Ag.20 (hereinafter referred to as YB2/0), preferably rat cells to which a recombinant DNA comprising DNA encoding a desired polypeptide such as an immunologically functional molecule is introduced, in a medium which does not contain serum (hereinafter referred to as a serum-free medium). Among the desired polypeptides obtained by the process of the present invention, an antibody obtained by using a transformant of YB2/0 has a high antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxic activity (hereinafter sometimes referred to as ADCC activity) and is useful as a pharmaceutical agent.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for producing a polypeptide, comprising: (a) selecting a rat cell line that has been adapted to grow in a serum-free medium, wherein the rat cell line is adapted to grow in a serum-free medium by performing the step of inoculating rat cells into a medium at a cell density of 1×10 5 to 1×10 6 cells/ml, said medium containing added physiologically active substances consisting of bovine serum albumin, insulin and transferrin, and culturing s…
