Impact <strong>of</strong> increasing cell culture titer <strong>and</strong> scale<br />

on downstream processes<br />

� Cell culture titers <strong>of</strong> 4 g/L are now achievable <strong>for</strong> monoclonal<br />

antibodies:<br />

• Wurm F, “Production <strong>of</strong> recombinant protein therapeutics in cultivated<br />

mammalian cells,” Nature Biotechnology, 22(11) (2004).<br />

• Smith M, “Strategies <strong>for</strong> the purification <strong>of</strong> high titre, high volume mammalian<br />

cell culture batches,” presented at BioProcess International European<br />

Conference <strong>and</strong> Exhibition (2005).<br />

� New facilities are increasing bioreactor scale to 20+ m 3 to<br />

meet requirements <strong>of</strong> large volume products:<br />

• Lonza Portsmouth: 3 x 20,000 L (on-line) + 1 x 20,000 L (2006)<br />

• Genentech Vacaville CCP-2: 8 x 25,000 L (2009)<br />

� At 4 g/L, a 25,000 L bioreactor will yield 100 kg per batch<br />

� Increasing production scale <strong>and</strong> titers present challenges <strong>and</strong><br />

opportunities <strong>for</strong> downstream process operation
