  • Genomic and proteomic approaches for the development of cell culture medium
    Publication number: 20040265880
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for designing a cell culture medium adapted to support a cell line in a pre-defined manner. The method includes generating an expression profile of a cell line, identifying from the expression profile a set of biomolecules to evaluate for their effect on an end-point assay using the cell line, testing each biomolecule in the set for its effect in the endpoint assay, wherein each biomolecule that is determined to have a measurable effect in the end-point assay relative to a control, not containing the biomolecule, is considered a positive biomolecule and formulating a cell culture medium for the cell line by adding a positive biomolecule to a basal medium to form a modified medium, and determining whether the modified medium is sufficient to support the cell line in the pre-defined manner.
