The development of a cell bank used in the routine manufacturing of a B-domain deleted recombinant coagulation factor VIII (BDDrFVIII) molecule involved stable insertion of the human BDDrFVIII gene into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, selection of a cell line capable of expressing consistent levels of active BDDrFVIII, and the establishment of a cell bank. The manufacturing process begins with the culturing of CHO cells in large bioreactors. Product synthesis is initiated by altering the cell culture conditions, thereby arresting the cells in a stationary growth phase and inducing elevated expression of BDDrFVIII. Harvested culture medium is concentrated by chromatography and then purified through a series of four column chromatography steps and one solvent-detergent virus inactivation step. By eliminating the presence of human serum albumin in the final formulation, the BDDrFVIII-containing coagulant product meets with a high standard of safety against microbial and viral contamination. Extensive studies have shown that BDDrFVIII is a consistent, highly pure factor VIII for the treatment of patients with hemophilia A.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D005169 Factor VIII Factor VIII of blood coagulation. Antihemophilic factor that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. Factor VIII is produced in the liver and acts in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. It serves as a cofactor in factor X activation and this action is markedly enhanced by small amounts of thrombin.

D016466 CHO Cells CELL LINE derived from the ovary of the Chinese hamster, Cricetulus griseus (CRICETULUS). The species is a favorite for cytogenetic studies because of its small chromosome number. The cell line has provided model systems for the study of genetic alterations in cultured mammalian cells. CHO Cell,Cell, CHO,Cells, CHO
