Abstract: An improved method for large scale production of proteins and/or polypeptides in cell culture is provided. In accordance with the present invention, the method provides for culturing cells that have metabolically shifted. The use of such a method or system allows high levels of protein or polypeptide production and reduces accumulation of unwanted metabolic waste such as lactate. Proteins and polypeptides expressed in accordance with the present invention may be advantageously used in the preparation of pharmaceutical, immunogenic, or other commercial biologic compositions, such as antibodies.

Abstract: The specification describes a composition comprising an improved eukaryotic cell culture medium, which can be used for the production of a protein of interest. Taurine can be added to the serum-free media or chemically-defined media to increase the production of a protein of interest. Methods for recombinantly expressing high levels of protein using the media compositions are included.

Abstract: 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.
