Abstract

PURPOSE:To cultivate an adherent animal cell to produce a useful substance in a floating state stably for a long period without using a carrier by maintaining Ca<2+> concentration in a culture system in a specific range. CONSTITUTION:In a culture system maintaining Ca<2+> concentration 0.01-0.3mM, an adherent animal cell (preferably transformant prepared by transducing gene to strain 293 derived from renal cell of human fetus) is cultivated in a state of floating the cell itself. The culture is carried out preferably by perfusion culture.

Conventionally, several proposals have been made as methods for mass culturing adherent cells and devices for the same. However, most of these methods allow cells to grow by adhering to a solid surface, and there remain problems with scale-up, operability, and long-term stability. For example, the microcarrier culture method developed by vanWezel et al. is useful as a method that allows tank culture, but there is a problem that cells may peel off from the carrier during long-term culture. History USP 4,
No. 059,485 describes an example in which floating culture of adherent cells was attempted in a serum medium, but the cells formed large aggregates, resulting in problems of internal cell necrosis and lack of long-term stability. There remains a problem.

Further, the culture method of the present invention may be a batch culture or a perfusion culture, but a perfusion culture is preferable. One of the important things in perfusion culture is to efficiently separate the living cells in the culture solution from the old culture solution, take out the old culture solution outside the culture tank, and improve the growth environment for cells in the culture tank. is to maintain it under optimal conditions. In addition, the old culture solution that is separated from the culture solution and taken out of the culture tank is
After removing the growth-inhibiting substances contained therein using membrane separation methods, or adsorption separation methods, and fractionating the useful substances produced as needed, we add additional ingredients necessary for culture. It can be reused as a new culture medium by adding it to the culture medium.
