  • Patent number: 9212379
    Abstract: The present invention pertains to methods of increasing the efficiency of producing a bioproduct. In some embodiments, the method increases the quantity of a bioproduct produced, or decreases bioproduct production time, in a bioreactor cell culture producing the bioproduct, the method comprising, (a) intermittently or continuously analyzing the concentration of one or more nutrients in the bioreactor cell culture; and (b) adding to the bioreactor cell culture additional nutrient media when the concentration of the one or more nutrients is lower than a target value.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2012
    Date of Patent: December 15, 2015
    Assignee: Biogen Idec MA Inc.
    Inventors: Valerie Liu Tsang, Angela Xiaoying Wang, Helena Yusuf-Makagiansar
  • Patent number: 9096879
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of reducing substitution of amino acids during the production of polypeptides of interest in mammalian cells. By varying the concentration of amino acids in the culture medium, heterogeneity of the polypeptide's amino acid sequence is decreased, leading to higher yields of functional protein.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 24, 2009
    Date of Patent: August 4, 2015
    Assignee: BIOGEN MA INC.
    Inventors: Anurag Khetan, Yao-ming Huang, Jana Dolnikova, Nels Pederson, Helena Yusuf-Makagiansar, Paul Chen, Thomas Ryll
  • Publication number: 20140363845
