Abstract
Pro-UK delta GS1 was designed as a long-life and thrombin-resistant derivative of pro-urokinase (pro-UK) by deleting the growth factor domain of pro-UK and introducing a glycosylation site near the thrombin cleaving site for thrombin-resistance using site-directed mutagenesis. An expression plasmid for pro-UKDGS1, pIH1UK delta GS1SEd1-5 was constructed and introduced into Namalwa KJM-1, a lymphoblastoid cell line adapted to serum-free medium, and cells resistant to G418 and Methotrexate (MTX) were obtained. Amongst them, the highest pro-UK delta GS1 producer (resistant to 200 nM of MTX), clone 2-9, was selected and used for further studies. Under the conventional conditions, i.e. at 37 degrees C in serum-free ITPSGF medium (based on RPMI-1640 medium), the oligosaccharide structure of pro-UK delta GS1 produced by clone 2-9 mainly consisted of fucose (Fuc)-containing biantennary complex-type oligosaccharide. Addition of dexamethasone (Dex), changed the carbohydrate contents in the media, and a shift down of incubation temperature caused a change in oligosaccharide structure of pro-UK delta GS1 from mainly Fuc-containing biantennary to mainly Fuc-containing tri- and tetraantennary complex-type oligosaccharide. The modulated pro-UK delta GS1 showed superior in vivo activity for a canine femoral thrombosis formed by inserting a copper-coil.

Abstract
Pro-UKS1 was designed as a thrombin-resistant derivative of pro-urokinase (pro-UK) by introducing a glycosylation site using site-directed mutagenesis. An expression plasmid for pro-UKS1, pMo1UKS1SEd1-5, was constructed and introduced into Namalwa KJM-1 cells (Hosoi et al., 1988), and cells resistant to G418 and Methotrexate (MTX) were obtained. Amongst them, the highest pro-UKS1 producer (resistant to 500 nM of MTX), clone 41-8, was selected and further characterized. Clone 41-8 was cultured in serum-free ITPSGF medium (Hosoi et al., 1988). Under the conventional conditions, the concentration of pro-UKS1 reached 26 micrograms ml-1. Addition of glucose and tri-iodothyronine (T3) improved productivity, and the maximal productivity of pro-UKS1 was 67 micrograms ml-1 day-1. In this conditioned medium, content of pro-UKS1 was above 80% of total proteins.

Abstract
The factors which limit the proliferation of eukaryotic cells in vitro are still not well known. Ammonia is believed to be toxic for mammalian cell proliferation and secretion. We have tried two approaches to reducing the ammonia in the medium. We first limited the ammonia produced by the cells by replacing glutamine by glutamate. Then, we used two chemical engineering methods to eliminate accumulated ammonia. In one the used medium was passed through a natural cation exchanger: the clinoptilolite. In the other, the culture medium was passed through a hydrophobic microporous hollow fiber module. Replacing the glutamine by glutamate reduced the medium ammonia concentration. The physicochemical removal of ammonia induced a better cell growth, but not a better specific antibody secretion.

Abstract
Human pro-urokinase (pro-UK) gene was engineered for expression in mammalian cells. The stability of recombinant pro-UKs produced by two kinds of cells, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and human lymphoblastoid Namalwa KJM-1 cells, were compared. The pro-UK expressed in CHO cells in serum-free medium was degraded by cysteine endopeptidase secreted by CHO cells. This endopeptidase was inhibited by p-chloromercuribenzonate (PCMB) and leupeptin more efficiently than by aprotinin. On the other hand, the pro-UK expressed in Namalwa KJM-1 cells was not degraded, resulting in the stable production of pro-UK at a rate of 2-3 micrograms/10(6) cells/day by use of a gene amplification method with dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) in serum-free medium. Thus, Namalwa KJM-1 cells showed the desired characteristics as a host cell for the production of recombinant proteins. The stability of recombinant proteins in heterologous systems may vary depending on the host cells.

Abstract
An expression vector for G-CSF, pASLB3-3, was constructed and introduced into Namalwa KJM-1 cells (Hosoi et al., 1988), and cells resistant to 100 nM of methotrexate (MTX) were obtained. Among them, the highest producer, clone SC57, was selected and the productivity of this clone was further characterized. The maximal production of G-CSF was at the most 1.8 micrograms/ml/day using a 25 cm2 tissue culture flask, even though the cell number was above 7 x 10(5) cells/ml. The limiting factors at high density were analyzed as the deficiency of nutrients, such as glucose, cysteine and serine, and pH control. The depression of specific G-CSF productivity per cell under the batch culture conditions was overcome by using a perfusion culture system, Biofermenter (Sato, 1983) with modifications of nutrients supplementation by a dialysis membrane and/or dissolved oxygen (DO) supplementation by microsilicone fibers. ITPSGF medium was modified to elevate concentrations of amino acids and glucose by 2.0- and 2.5-times, respectively. Under the control of pH at 7.4 and DO at 4 ppm, the specific G-CSF productivity was not depressed even at high cell density (above 1 x 10(7) cells/ml), and the amount of G-CSF reached 41 micrograms/ml. These results indicated the possibility of finding the optimum culture conditions for the production of recombinant proteins by Namalwa KJM-1 cells.

Abstract
Serum-free perfusion cultures of hybridoma TO-405 cells were carried out in spinner flasks coupled with zeolite A-3 packed beads. Ammonia was selectively removed from the culture broth by passing cell free permeate from ceramic cross flow filtration, through the zeolite packed bed. Ammonia concentration in the culture broth was effectively maintained between 1 to 4 mmol/l which was below the inhibitory concentration for cell growth. Maximum cell density levels of 10(7) cells/ml as well as improved percentage cell viability higher than in serum-supplemented cultures were feasible in this system. The possible effects of shear stress, generated by variation of the flow rates of the broth through the ceramic filter module, on the growth of the hybridoma cells were investigated. Backwashing, by reversing the direction of the permeate, was found necessary to prolong the life of the filter. Variation of the flow rates of the broth through the ceramic module between 0.29 m/s to 0.59 m/s did not cause immediate cell damage but growth was repressed at the higher flow rate. This study also showed that glutamine appears to be one of the factors limiting the growth of the hybridoma cells.

Abstract
We previously reported the expression of human beta-interferon (beta-IFN) (Miyaji et al., 1989) and human lymphotoxin (Miyaji et al., 1990) in Namalwa KJM-1 cells adapted to serum-free medium. To establish an efficient gene expression system, a dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr) gene coamplification method was applied to this cell line. A beta-IFN expression plasmid was introduced with a dhfr expression plasmid into KJM-1 and methotrexate (MTX)-resistant derivatives were selected by a stepwise increase of MTX concentration. Among them, derivatives which showed higher expression levels of beta-IFN than that achieved by the parental transformants were obtained, suggesting that a dhfr gene coamplification method can be used for efficient expression of foreign genes in KJM-1 which contains endogenous dhfr genes. Then, an improved beta-IFN expression vector was constructed, which contains a dhfr transcription unit. This plasmid was introduced into KJM-1 and then, MTX-resistant derivatives were selected. Among them, the highest producer, clone 40-10-24, secreted beta-IFN at a level as high as 5 micrograms/ml, which is about 100-fold higher than that obtained by the G418-resistant parental transformants. In addition, beta-IFN produced by recombinant KJM-1 cells had the same molecular weight of that produced by fibroblasts.

Abstract
A Namalwa cell line, KJM-1, which was adapted to serum-free medium is thought to be a good host cell line for recombinant DNA technology. We previously reported the expression of human beta-interferon (beta-IFN) in Namalwa KJM-1 (Miyaji, 1989a). The utility of Namalwa KJM-1 for expression of foreign genes was further examined. As a target gene to be expressed, human lymphotoxin (hLT) cDNA was used. It was engineered for expression in Namalwa KJM-1 using a simian virus 40 (SV40)-based expression vector pAGE107 (Miyaji, 1989a). It contains all components necessary for the expression of cDNA in mammalian cells. The expression vector was introduced into Namalwa KJM-1 by electroporation. Among the transformants, clone 7 was further examined for the expression of hLT in serum-free medium. The production level of hLT was augmented with the increase of the cell density. Thus it was further indicated that Namalwa KJM-1 is useful for production of foreign gene products.

Abstract
A Namalwa cell line, KJM-1, which was adapted to serum-free medium is thought to be a very useful host cell line for recombinant DNA technology. Thus, the utility of Namalwa KJM-1 for expression of foreign genes was examined. As a model system human beta-interferon (beta-IFN) gene was engineered for expression in this cell line. For construction of the beta-IFN expression vector pSE1 beta 1-4, the expression vector pAGE107 was constructed and used. It contains simian virus 40 (SV40) early promoter, the rabbit beta-globin RNA processing signals for splicing and polyadenylation, and SV40 early RNA processing signal for polyadenylation. In addition to the above transcription unit, pAGE107 contains the ampicillin-resistance gene and G418-resistance gene. They can confer ampicillin resistance to Escherichia coli (E. coli) and G418 resistance to animal cells. To introduce plasmid DNA into cells, electroporation is a useful method (Wong, 1982; Potter, 1984). We have established conditions for DNA-mediated transfection of Namalwa KJM-1 cell line by electroporation. Among pSE1 beta 1-4-introduced cells, clone 1-3 was further examined for the expression of beta-IFN in serum-free medium. The production level of beta-IFN was elevated with the increase of the cell density. The results indicated that the Namalwa KJM-1 cell line is useful for production of foreign gene products.
