The aim of this study was to analyze kinetic and metabolic features of two hybridomas for monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) production for blood typing. Two lines of hybridomas, ED7 and ED9, were evaluated to produce anti-A and anti-AB, respectively. Experiments with ED7 and ED9 lines were conducted in a 500mL spinner flask and 2L bioreactor, using two different basal culture media, both with 10 % v/v addition of fetal bovine serum. The results revealed the necessity of additional supplementation of the culture media to meet the nutritional demands of the cells. Through nutritional balance and cultivation in better controlled conditions in the bioreactor, it was possible to raise the maximum specific growth rate µ max in 8.2 % and the productivity of anti-A in 148 % with the line ED7. For the ED9 line the µ max decreased 9.5% but the productivity of anti-AB increased 33.3%.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
