Approaches to Improve <strong>Cell</strong> <strong>Line</strong> <strong>Development</strong> Efficiencies,<br />

Resources and Timelines – What is the Impact<br />

1:00 CASE STUDY • UNPUBLISHED DATA Strategies to Fast/Lean POC and<br />

Risk Mitigation<br />

Fast/lean to PoC is highly desired for drug development. However, fast/lean<br />

cell line generation could potentially result in the identification of clonal cell<br />

lines that are only suitable for early-phase development and result in the<br />

need to change cell lines for commercial development, which can pose a<br />

significant challenge in demonstrating consistency of processes/products. In<br />

this presentation, we share recloning case studies as a potential mitigation<br />

strategy to the risks associated with fast/lean to PoC approaches.<br />

1:30 Streamlining Antibody <strong>Development</strong> Using Large Scale,<br />

CHO Transient Gene Expression (TGE) Followed by Rapid<br />

Production of CHO Stable Pools<br />

Antibody production for early stage antibody development activities is<br />

commonly conducted using transiently transfected HEK cells to produce<br />

adequate quantities of antibody for characterization, while later stage<br />

screening and biomanufacturing rely on CHO-based stable cell lines.<br />

Migration from HEK to CHO cell backgrounds can lead to manufacturing<br />

challenges and changes in post translational modifications that can alter<br />

the antibody’s therapeutic potential. The time line of antibody development<br />

can be greatly streamlined using large scale transient gene expression<br />

(TGE) directly within CHO cells. CHOS cells can be transfected with >95%<br />

transfection efficiency and cell viability using MaxCyte flow electroporation.<br />

MaxCyte transiently transfected CHO cells produce antibody titers > 400<br />

mg/L, enabling greater than 1 gram of protein from 1g/L.<br />

2:30 CASE STUDY • UNPUBLISHED DATA Faster Upstream <strong>Development</strong> for<br />

Therapeutic Proteins: The Contribution of the GS-KO Host<br />

<strong>Cell</strong> <strong>Line</strong><br />

The GS Gene Expression System is widely used for cGMP manufacturing<br />

of therapeutic proteins using mammalian cells. Currently, thirteen licensed<br />

products are manufactured using the GS System. Although the system is<br />

well established, Lonza is continually improving the GS System. Recent<br />

improvements have focussed on a number of areas including reducing<br />

the time for cell line development. The latter was achieved partly through<br />

introduction of a GS-knockout version, CHOK1SV GS-KO, of its standard<br />

CHO host. This talk describes some of work to develop and characterise<br />

the new host cell line, along with comparative performance data from 10 L<br />

bioreactor cultures, and the benefits from switching to the new host.<br />

Tribute to the Legacy of Marty Sinacore –<br />

Reflections and State-of-the-Art Advances<br />

3:45 A Tribute to Marty Sinacore<br />

Marty Sinacore has been one of the contributors of<br />

developing today’s technology used for mammalian cell<br />

based production. Besides being a great scientist Marty has<br />

been the mentor of countless young scientists that now are<br />

part of the backbone of our community. In this<br />

presentation, Tim and Thomas highlight some of<br />

Marty’s work and how it influenced the way we do cell<br />

based manufacturing today.<br />

4:30 UNPUBLISHED DATA <strong>Development</strong> of a Custom <strong>Cell</strong> <strong>Line</strong> Toolbox<br />

with Diverse Product Quality Attributes<br />

Although the simplicity of having a single, well characterized host upon<br />

which to initiate cell line engineering has many advantages, a one size<br />

fits all approach does have its drawbacks. The range of product quality<br />

attributes achievable will be limited by the intrinsic phenotype of said host<br />

and may not overlap with the optimum profile for a given therapeutic. With<br />

the increased sophistication of engineering tools enabling precise genome<br />

editing or mRNA depletion, it’s now relatively straight forward to develop<br />

modified hosts with tailored made phenotypes. The end result being the cell<br />

line engineer can develop a “toolbox” of varied hosts that can be employed<br />

to insure that critical quality attributes or biosimilarity is achievable.<br />

5:00 The Impact of ‘Omics Technologies on Process<br />

<strong>Development</strong> – The Promise and the Reality<br />

It was just over 10 years ago that the use of ‘omics technologies started<br />

to make their way into bioprocess development. For many early adopters<br />

of the technology, the promise was a better fundamental understanding<br />

of cell biology that would lead to engineered cell lines that would be<br />

optimized for production of secreted biotherapeutics. That isn’t what<br />

happened, however.<br />

5:30 CASE STUDY • UNPUBLISHED DATA Preservation of a Balanced <strong>Cell</strong><br />

Culture Environment for Fed-Batch Processes<br />

This presentation demonstrates with examples the effect of cell culture<br />

imbalance on cell growth and productivity, as well as specific solutions to<br />

remedy these issues. A simple solution to revive the drop in cell viability<br />

observed during the late stage of cell culture is also discussed. Finally, a<br />

systematic approach of medium feeding to achieve high cell density, high<br />

viability, and high titer process is also described.<br />

Yen-Tung Luan, M.S., Associate Research Fellow, Bioprocess R&D, Pfizer Inc.<br />

“By narrowly targeting the technologies used<br />

at the border of R&D of biotherapeutics, this event provides<br />

an intensive 3-day review of current, valuable information<br />

for this highly specialized group.”<br />
