Targeted cell culture media manufacturing

Christopher Woolstenhulme, Ph.D., Cytiva

Abstract

Understanding and controlling raw material impurities is essential for modern cell culture media manufacturing. Cytiva’s raw material characterization program uses cutting-edge testing and state-of-the-art data analytics to understand the types and quantities of impurities present in raw materials. This information has helped Cytiva to build the unique capability to predict and manufacture cell culture media consistently within a specification range defined by customers without modifying or changing the formulation. Named "Targeted Cell Culture Media Manufacturing™", this capability allowed Cytiva to successfully manufacture over 40 batches of high-quality media within specification guidelines with no changes to customer formulations.

Introducing Xcellerex™ X-platform bioreactors

Carrie Miller, Cytiva

Abstract

We designed Xcellerex™ X-platform bioreactors to meet your process needs today and in the future. Whether in pilot or cGMP facilities, the modular and application-based approach improves cell culture productivity.

In this seminar, we will explain the overview and several features of Xcellerex™ X-platform bioreactors.

  • Precision cell culture media manufacturing with trace metal and amino acid control
    Variation in trace metal and amino acid content in cell culture media can have profound impact on cell culture growth, cell line productivity, and large molecule quality attributes. Of particular concern to drug manufacturers is the impact of uncontrolled metal or amino acid content on drug pharmokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of large-molecule drug products. To mitigate these issues, an effective control strategy is required, including a process to characterize and track raw material impurities throughout the manufacturing process and store this data for future use. Once collected, this raw material data is used to understand sources of lot-to-lot variation and the impact of variation on cell growth, drug-product titer, and changes in drug-product quality attributes. Cytiva has collected a body of raw material data to predict cell culture media characteristics prior to manufacturing and select component lots to modulate the levels of critical analytes to suit customer targets, referred to as our Targeted Cell Culture Media Manufacturing™ program. This control strategy can be implemented at different levels throughout the cell culture media manufacturing process, ranging from trending and raw material limit controls to extensive lot selection based on customer targets. The result of this control strategy is a cell culture media product with increased lot-to-lot uniformity resulting in a highly characterized, highly controlled media to meet customer drug product targets.
  • Polypropylene glycol and high molecular weight impurity detection in poloxamer 188
    Polypropylene glycol (PPG) was recently identified as an impurity in poloxamer 188 (P188), highlighting a need for advanced analytical testing. During P188 synthesis, side products can be produced such as high molecular weight poloxamer species (HMW) or PPG and have been shown reduce the growth of specific CHO cultures. Indeed, 2000 molecular weight PPG (PPG) concentrations as low as 0.125% w/w decreased the day 6 viable cell densities (VCD) and integral viable cell densities (IVCD) when compared with the biological grade P188 (P188 Bio) control cultures. Yet, PPG did not affect cell viability at concentrations below 1% w/w. When P407 was used to simulate a HMW impurity, as little at 1% w/w was sufficient to decrease VCD and viabilities in baffled flask cultures. Since analytical tests provide increased sensitivity to detect poloxamer impurities, Cytiva developed a reversed-phase LC/MS test capable of screening for HMW or PPG in the same test. PPG and P407 were diluted to 10 or 1mg/ml in deionized water and analyzed through reversed-phase liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC/MS) either separate or in combination with P188 Bio. Using this approach, the primary P188 peak occurred between retention times from 10-18 minutes and P407 and PPG samples retention times were 18-23 minutes. Taken together, these data demonstrate the feasibility to identify HMW or PPG impurities using a single analytical test and can be used in tandem with validated cell culture tests to screen for biologically relevant P188 impurities.
  • High-titer rAAV production in bioreactors using ELEVECTA producer cell lines
    In recent years, the number of gene therapy products in the biopharma clinical pipeline have increased, as well as the need for scalable manufacturing processes for viral vector production. Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) is widely used as a viral vector for gene therapy; however, delivering the required amounts of AAV vector particles is still a challenge, especially with typical triple-transfection methods.
    ELEVECTA™ producer cell lines are a stable, helper virus-free rAAV production technology. They consist of mammalian suspension cells that have stably integrated all components necessary to produce AAV — adenovirus helper functions, AAV replicase, AAV capsid, and the gene of interest (GOI) flanked with the AAV ITRs. Production in this system is initiated by induction via doxycycline. Stable rAAV production using ELEVECTA producer cell lines has been demonstrated with different serotypes as well as different GOIs.
    Here we describe upstream process development in 10, 50, and 200 L stirred-tank bioreactors using an ELEVECTA producer cell line. We also demonstrate how we optimized an AAV8-GFP proof-of-concept (PoC) producer single cell clone (SCC) in batch and perfusion modes. These results showed that ELEVECTA producer cell lines can deliver robust and scalable rAAV production throughout 10 to 200 L scale, and perfusion mode can improve both the quality and quantity of vector particles.
