Research Abstract |
Development of an Electrically Controllable Bioreactor An electrically controllable bioreactor has been developed on the basis of findings that the biocatalytic activity of enzymes and animal cells can be electrically modulated. Hybridoma cells, which could produce monoclonal antibody in suspension culture, were immobilized to an electroconductive microporous carbon mesh. The immobilized cells proliferated within the pores even under potential application. A continuous flow through bioreactor was designed to incorporate the immobilized cells. The potential of the carbon mesh was controlled with a potentiostat. Monoclonal antibody was continuously produced by the immobilized hybridoma cells in the flow-through bioreactor. The rate of the antibody production was modulated by changing the potential of the carbon mesh. It was found that a repeated pulse stimulation enhanced the rate of the antibody production. The design and operational conditions of the bioreactor were optimized to produce the monoclonal antibody. The flow-through bioreactor was successfully applied to the electrically controlled production of proteins by adhesion type of animal cells which were immobilized to conductive carbon mesh.
