Efficient Optimization of CHO Cell Culture Medium and Feed for Increased Antibody Production

Traditional medium optimization strategies are labor intensive, costly, and time consuming. In this project, high-throughput screening technology was adopted along with statistical design to reduce costs and decrease time for optimizing culture conditions for maximized antibody production from a custom Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell clone. The presented work includes two phases: phase 1 for basal medium optimization and phase 2 for feed optimization. Phase 1 and phase 2 each have two rounds. A DoE screening methodology was used to…
