A fixed bed perfusion system for hybridoma cell immobilization is presented. The system consists of a culturing vessel (300 ml total volume) in which polyurethane (PU) sponges in the form of small cubes of about 5 mm sides are packed. Cells are immobilized by physical entrapment in the foam matrix.

β¦ Synopsis
Mouse hybridoma cells were succesfully cultivated for more than 640 hours in the interparticle spaces of a tubular reactor packed with spherical dass beads. The maximum monoclonal antibody (MAb) concentration attained was 110 mg/l and a viable cell density in the order of 1 X 1 O7 cells/ml was achieved. A productivity per reactor void volume of 5.2 mg MAb/hr/l was obtained, which is comparable to the best systems currently in use.

To determine the effect of hyperosmotic stress on the monoclonal antibody (MAb) production by calciumalginate-immobilized S3H5iy2bA2 hybridoma cells, the osmolalities of medium in the M A b production stage were varied through the addition of NaCI. The specific MAb productivity (9Mab) of immobilized
The effect of serum on cell growth and monoclonal antibody (MAb) productivity was studied in a repeated fedbatch mode using both free-suspended and immobilized S3H5/y2bA2 hybridoma cells. In the suspension culture, serum influenced the cell growth rate but not the specific MAb productivity. The aver
