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.

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 instant application provides a method for screening batches of soy hydrolysate for a desired amount of a component thereof, such as ornithine or putrescine, and selecting only those batches of soy hydrolysate that have a desired amount of such component. The present disclosure also sets forth methods for culturing cells in media supplemented with selected batches of soy to produce more consistent, high quality lots of a protein of interest. Further, the present disclosure provides a plurality of protein preparations that have each been produced by culturing cells in media supplemented with separate batches of soy hydrolysate containing a desired amount of ornithine or putrescine, whereby each batch of protein produced exhibits improved quality of the protein of interest or amount of quality protein produced.
