I am working recombinant protein production using Chinese Hamster Ovarian cells. Need to understand the growth pattern of mammalian cells and how the metabolism rate affects the recombinant protein production.
mammalian cells growth much slowwly than bacteria. While duplication time of bacterial is in the order of 20-30 minutes. the duplication time of CHO growth in suspension at 37°C is about 16-18h and while it is much more affected from temperature respect than the baxcteria.
I'm using the ExpiCHO that are able to hrowth up to high cell density (up to 8-10 milion/ml).
you can find some more details about this cells on the following link
You can find many examples if you do a google search for e.g. "CHO growth curve" https://www.google.com/search?q=cho+growth+curve and go to "images" . You can follow the individual links for more details. Note that CHO cell growth curves usually span 8-10 days.
