[0061] Expression of recombinants in culture vessels

[0062] Cultured mammalian cells have become the primary system for the production of recombinant proteins for clinical use due to their ability to correctly fold, assemble and post-translationally modify. Two main formats have been employed for the production of recombinant proteins in mammalian cells: cultures of adherent cells and suspension cultures. The latter is by far the most common.

[0063] In simple batch or fed-batch processes, scale-up to very large volumes can be achieved by diluting the contents of the bioreactor into 5-20 volumes of fresh medium kept prewarmed in the larger reactor occur. The process from thawing stored cells to actual large-scale production consists of three separate phases: seed culture, inoculum culture, and production phase. Seeding is usually done in smaller cell culture vessels, starting from small volumes of a few mL of culture immediately af...

[0200] Example 1: Production of split cell expansion, mixing in shake flasks

[0201] overview

[0202] Six different cell populations were counted and mixed in equal cell ratios (1:1:1:1:1:1) and used to inoculate bioreactors where each cell population produced a different antibody. Cells were cultured for 7 days before ion exchange chromatography (IEX) was used to quantify the amount of each of the six antibodies. The experiment was repeated twice and the batch-to-batch reproducibility of the obtained polyclonal antibody composition was investigated.

[0204] cell line

[0205] The parental producer cell line used was a derivative of the DHFR negative CHO cell line DG44 obtained from Lawrence Chasin (Columbia University). DG44 cells were transfected with the cDNA of the adenovirus type 5 transactivator E1A in the vector pcDNA3.1+ (Invitrogen). Transfectants were selected with Geneticin (Invitrogen) at a concentration of 500 μg / ml. After s...

Embodiment 2

[0234] Example 2: Separate Upstream Cultivation in a Fed-Batch Bioreactor, Mixing, followed by Purification

[0235] overview

[0236] Five different ECHO cell lines expressing five different IgG antibodies were cultured individually in a bioreactor for 13-14 days. After incubation, the antibody-containing fractions (2:1:1:1:1) were mixed during purification to obtain the antibody composition in a bulk drug substance (BDS).

[0237] Expression plasmids, cells, etc. were as in Example 1, except that only five antibodies were expressed (see Table 4).

Abstract

The invention relates to methods for manufacturing drug products comprising at least two distinct members of a polyclonal protein, for example a polyclonal antibody, where each distinct member is expressed by a separate population of cells. The methods involve at least an initial step in which the cell populations expressing the distinct members of the polyclonal protein are cultured separately. The individual cell populations, or proteins expressed by the individual cell populations, are combined at a later point of the upstream or downstream processing to result in a single drug product comprising the distinct members of the polyclonal protein.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of a pharmaceutical product comprising at least two distinct members of a polyclonal protein. The invention involves at least an initial separate culturing step of cells expressing distinct members of the polyclonal protein. Combining cell lines or protein preparations at a point after upstream processing or before or during downstream processing ultimately ends up in one drug product comprising at least two distinct members of the polyclonal protein. Background of the invention [0002] Production of recombinant polyclonal proteins is a relatively new technology. Most recombinant drug products are manufactured as monoclonal products using selected cell lines derived from one clone expressing the desired product. In this case, upstream and downstream manufacturing methods can be optimized for a specific monoclonal drug product. [0003] Cost-effective methods for the production of reco...
