Effect of Tyr on CHO cells producing a recombinant monoclonal antibody.
A, residual Tyr concentration. B, residual Phe concentration. C, specific productivity. D, titer. E, percentage of viability. F, integrated viable cell density (IVCD). Symbols: dashed line (□), cell culture without Tyr supplementation; solid line (■), cell culture with Tyr supplementation. Arrows indicate timing of tyrosine addition. Cells were grown in chemically defined media.
