Abstract:
The subject invention pertains to methods and apparatus for the production and purification of cell products, such as immunoglobulins. One aspect of the invention is an integrated cell culture and purification apparatus for the growth and maintenance of cells and the harvest and purification of cell products, such as immunoglobulins. Thus, the apparatus integrates a cell culture function with a purification function. Other aspects of the invention pertain to an automated method for producing immunogenic compositions such as vaccines.

Claim (Index 1):
An automated method for the production of cells and cell products and purification thereof in a contaminant-free environment, comprising the steps of:\n providing a first disposable cultureware module, the first cultureware module including a cell growth chamber; providing a first reusable instrumentation base device incorporating hardware to support cell culture growth, the first instrumentation base device including a microprocessor control and a pump for circulating cell culture medium through the cell growth chamber; providing a second disposable cultureware module, the second cultureware module including a selection device; providing a second reusable instrumentation base device incorporating hardware to receive fluid from the cell growth chamber; removably attaching the first cultureware module to the first instrumentation base device;\n introducing cells into the cell growth chamber; \n fluidly attaching a source of cell culture medium to the first cultureware module; \n programming operating parameters into the microprocessor control; \n operating the pump to circulate the cell culture medium through the cell growth chamber to grow cells or cell products therein; loading the culture medium containing the cell products onto the selection device to absorb a cell product onto the selection device; eluting the absorbed cell product into an aqueous medium; and collecting the cell product in a pre-sterilized disposable collection vessel to form a purified cell product.
