Figure 1From: Effect of culture medium, host strain and oxygen transfer on recombinant Fab antibody fragment yield and leakage to medium in shaken E. coli culturesYields of Fab fragments in mg per liter of culture in different media. Quantities of Fab fragments F1, F16, F32 and 1B10 were measured by antigen-binding ELISA from cell lysate (periplasmic fraction; in black) and broth supernatant (medium fraction; in grey). All fragments were expressed in E. coli RV308 and BL21 in 24 deep well plates. Samples were drawn for analysis at 24 h after induction in the fed-batch-like EnBase medium (EB), 19 h after induction in Super Broth (SB), and 19 h and 42 h after cultivation start in ZYM-5052 autoinduction medium (ZYM; 19 h data not shown, yields at 19 h were lower than at 42 h). The mean values of two independent replicate cultivations are shown.Back to article page
