The present invention is directed generally to systems and methods suitable for high level expression of recombinant proteins in suspension CHO cells. In particular, the invention allows introduction of the invention obviates the need to replace, replenish or supplement the growth medium during the procedure. The invention also relates to compositions and kits useful for culturing and transforming/transfecting suspension CHO cells.

Cell culture media are provided herein as are methods of using the media for cell culture and protein production from cells.

The specification describes an improved serum-free animal cell culture medium, which can used for the production of a protein of interest. Ornithine, or a combination of ornithine and putrescine can be added to serum-free media or chemically defined media to improve viable cell density, to reduce cell doubling time, and to increase the production of a protein of interest.

Provided herein are methods of culturing a mammalian cell in a liquid medium including poloxamer-188 at a concentration of 1.8 g/L or at a greater concentration than 1.8 g/L more or a liquid medium that includes a poloxamer-188 concentration that is selected based on one or more factors selected from the group of: pore size, pore type, gas flow rate, viable cell density in the medium, and markers related to cell stress.

Described herein are poloxamer compositions for use as a shear protectant in cell culture and methods for preparing and using such compositions.

Cell culture media are provided herein as are methods of using the media for cell culture and protein production from cells.

Cell culture media are provided herein as are methods of using the media for cell culture and protein production from cells.

Described is an optimized process for parvovirus production including an essentially serum-free medium which is suitable to increase parvovirus production compared to a standard medium, preferably for H-1PV production.

The specification describes an improved serum-free animal cell culture medium, which can used for the production of a protein of interest. Ornithine, or a combination of ornithine and putrescine can be added to serum-free media or chemically defined media to improve viable cell density, to reduce cell doubling time, and to increase the production of a protein of interest.
