The Fab fraction of PDC-E2 specific human monoclonal antibody was produced using recombinant E. coli, and the effects of glucose and acetate were investigated to develop an optimal strategy for recombinant human antibody production. Higher glucose concentration in the culture media resulted in higher cell growth and glucose consumption rate, which in turn resulted in an increased acetate production rate. When glucose was depleted, cells began to consume acetate as an energy source, and this consumption rate depended on the glucose concentration. When the residual glucose concentration was high, the accumulation of acetate was accelerated due to and increase in the acetate production rate and a decrease in the acetate consumption rate. Futhermore, it was found that a high accumulation of acetate, accompanied by a high glucose concentration, inhibited human antibody formation; the critical acetate concentration was 0.6 g/l. During production, a high glucose concentration enhanced cell growth, but inhibited antibody formation due to catabolic repression. Therefore, it is important to keep the concentration of both glucose and acetate as low as possible to increase antibody production after induction. Accordingly, it is important to accurately control the concentration of glucose and acetate in the culture media to obtain high cell densities and high productivity levels of recombinant human antibody.
