Figure Lengend Snippet: SEC cannot separate EVs from contaminants in bioreactor harvests, while MFC removes large quantities of free protein. (a) UV chromatogram of EVs purified with SEC from low scale 2D culture, where ‘a’ represents the EV/particle peak, and ‘b’ represents smaller contaminants such as free protein. (b) UV chromatogram of three consecutive passes of the same large scale bioreactor culture through SEC. (c) UV chromatogram of purified EV samples from the Capto Core purified by SEC to separate any remaining free protein or contaminants from the EV peak, where ‘a’ represents the EV peak, ‘b’ the contaminant peak, and ‘c’ represents the right shoulder attributed to DMEM constituents (Figure ). (d) Protein concentration in EV samples isolated using different Capto Core columns as determined by a microBCA protein assay. (e) UV chromatogram of a representative EV purification through CC700 MFC from large scale bioreactor culture.
Article Snippet: HEK293T cells (ATCC) cultured in DMEM (Gibco) + 10% FBS (Gibco) + 1% 100x antibiotic/antimycotic solution (Sigma Aldrich) were expanded to 1 × 10 8 cells in 15 cm dishes and seeded into the extra‐capillary space (ECS) of FiberCell Systems C2011 20 kDa molecular weight cut‐off (MWCO) hollow‐fibre bioreactor (FiberCell Systems).
