Ceramic pieces composed of 99.5% Al2O3, 3 to 6 mm long, were found to be a good matrix for growth of the human embryonic lung diploid fibroblast, IMR-90 cells. The tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) was secreted in DME medium containing proteose peptone as a t-PA inducer. In addition, production of t-PA was enhanced by increasing extracellular CaCl2, from 3.6 to 5.4 mM. In order to eliminate negative feed-back control caused by t-PA produced and thus raise productivity, perfusion cultivation was performed using a ceramic-packed bed column, with a recirculating vessel. The recirculating vessel was used to mix fresh medium with spent medium, and to control dissolved oxygen concentrations in the extracellular environment by stirring. In continuous production using the packed bed column with 2 kg of ceramics (phi = H = 150 mm), increasing dilution rate to 0.5 day-1 could reduce product inhibition at 3-4 x 10(5) cells/ml. Cellular productivity of 560 IU/10(6) cells/day was obtained over 40 days and corresponded to the volumetric productivity of 183 IU/ml/day.

D010959 Tissue Plasminogen Activator A proteolytic enzyme in the serine protease family found in many tissues which converts PLASMINOGEN to FIBRINOLYSIN. It has fibrin-binding activity and is immunologically different from UROKINASE-TYPE PLASMINOGEN ACTIVATOR. The primary sequence, composed of 527 amino acids, is identical in both the naturally occurring and synthetic proteases.
