A recombinant DNA CHO cell line secreting urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) was cultivated with Cytopore cellulose porous microcarriers in a 30l Biostat UC stirred tank reactor. After 26 days of culture, using a spinfilter to retain cells in bioreactor, the cell density could reach 1.33 x 10(7) ml(-1). The maximal u-PA activity in supernatant was 7335 IU.ml(-1), and 204l supernatant containing 7.1 g u-PA was harvested. After 100 days of culture with 0.1% fetal bovine serum medium, a modified cell retention system which can be washed-out backward, substituted the spinfilter to prevent filter clogging. The maximal cell density was over 10(7) ml(-1), the maximal u-PA activity in supernatant reached 6250 IU.ml(-1), and 1604l supernatant containing about 51 g u-PA was harvested. Compared to perfusion culture, batch medium-replaced culture could raise utilizing efficiency of the medium, increase cell specific productivity and improve the quality of the product which was not steady in a 37 degrees C environment. Cells can move from seed porous microcarriers occupied by cells to vacant microcarriers spontaneously, without trypsinization, and continue to grow until all microcarriers contained cells. It shows that Cytopore porous microcarriers are very useful and convenient to scale up cultivation step by step.
