The ‘High Five’ or Trichoplusia ni 5B-1-4 cell line is more productive for heterologous proteins on a per cell basis than other commonly used insect cells lines. Adapting the TN 5B-1-4 cells to suspension culture and maintaining them as suspensions, which is usually difficult due to severe aggregation, but could be achieved by adding heparin at 100IU/mL. Unfortunately, the heparin inhibited the infection process even at very high values of multiplicity of infection (10 to 20 infectious particles per cell). This was reflected by the continued growth of the cells after virus addition. Since considerable cell growth was obtained after infection in the presence of 100IU/mL of heparin, final cell densities were higher and per cell production was lower most likely due to nutrient limitation. |
