✦ Synopsis
The iron-rich (500 gM ferric citrate) protein-free supplement was added to six different basal media. Cell growth and monoclonal antibody production of a mouse-mouse hybridoma were investigated in 1.3 1 batch cultures performed in a laboratory bioreactor with automatic control of pH and dissolved oxygen concentration. RPMI 1640 served as the control medium: Fortification of the basal medium by balanced mixtures of amino acids and vitamins showed higher positive effect than daily supplementation by glucose and glutamine. Strongly fortified medium, based on RPMI 1640, was found superior to other basal media. The viability index increased by a factor of 3.04 and the total antibody production by a factor of 2.82, relative to the control.

Potassium or sodium phosphate was found to stimulate the production of human monoclonal antibody by human-human hybridoma HB4C5. The addition of 15 mM Na-phosphate (pH 7.4) into serum-free culture medium increased the antibody production up to 4-fold, when seeded at cell density of 1 x 10 5 cells/ml
The death rate of hybridoma cells, grown in a continuous culture, has been studied in a small air-lift loop reactor as a function of reactor height and injected gas flow rate. The first-order death-rate constant was found to be proportional to the reciprocal height and to the gas flow rate, in accor
