| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a method for cell expansion. In the method, preferably a cell culture product is used, such as a microcarrier, or other adherent cell culture surface, comprising degradable polysaccharide, preferably starch, modified with small molecular weight cell-binding ligands. This allows recovery (detachment) of adhered cells to be aided by degradation of the culture surface with enzymatic agents, such as amylase. The method for cell expansion comprises the following steps: a) adding cells, culture medium and cell culture surface comprising a degradable polysaccharide with guanidine group containing ligands to a bioreactor; b) expanding said cells by adherent cell culture; and c) aiding the detachment of said cells by exposing them to a polysaccharidase to degrade the culturing surface. |
