abstract
Mammalian cell cultures producing high-value biopharmaceuticals are expensive and time-consuming to study due to their exclusive dependence on experimentation. A mathematical model has been developed that describes batch/fed-batch hybridoma suspension cultures under normal and chemically-arrested conditions, which is also used to optimise the fed-batch cultures. The optimised strategy was tested experimentally demonstrating that product concentration was closely predicted though the viable cell concentration was partly underestimated. Overall, the model has assisted in reducing the number of experiments required to determine optimal cell culture conditions. Further work is required to improve the model predictability. 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
