Beyond Viability: Advancing CHO Cell Culture Process Strategies to Modulate Host Cell Protein Levels
While purification strategies usually offer substantial HCP clearance, certain problematic HCPs, particularly lipases, pose significant challenges. This study investigates the accumulation of various problematic HCPs in CHO cell culture using transcriptomics, revealing correlations between cell culture parameters and HCP activity. Contrary to conventional assumptions, viability alone does not reliably predict HCP levels, with factors such as clone selection, host cell line choice, and media feed type significantly influencing HCP accumulation. Leveraging transcriptomics-based approaches, we demonstrate the potential of upstream process control strategies to mitigate HCP presence and improve biologic product quality. Our findings underscore the importance of considering diverse cell culture parameters in bioprocess optimization to ensure product stability and quality.
