β¦ Synopsis
The comparative effects of Pluronic on cell growth of hybridomas were studied. The addition of 0.05% Pluronic decreased the steady-state cell number in continuous culture by about 12% compared to a non-supplemented culture. In short-term experiments, results demonstrated a gradual decrease in cell number with increasing concentration of Pluronic. Such growth inhibition was found to be a result of lowering the rate of DNA synthesis.

## Abstract The surfactant Pluronic Fβ68 (PFβ68) is widely used in largeβscale mammalian cell culture to protect cells from shear stress that arises from agitation and gas sparging. Several studies suggested that PFβ68 is incorporated into the cell plasma membrane and could enter the cells, but wit
