Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells represent the most preferential host cell system for therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) production. Enhancing mAb production in CHO cells can be achieved by adding chemical compounds that regulate the cell cycle and cell survival pathways. This study investigated the impact of ectoine supplementation on mAb production in CHO cells.

Antibody titer and viable cell density (VCD) are two important parameters that need to be closely monitored during the process of cell line development and manufacturing of therapeutic antibodies. Typically, determination of each parameter requires 10-100 μL of supernatant sample, which is not suitable for small scale cultivation. In this study, we demonstrated that as low as 2 μL of culture supernatants were sufficient for the analysis using UV-Vis spectrum assisted with partial least squares (PLS) model.
