Silkworm hemolymph inhibits apoptosis thereby increasing production of erythropoietin
November 3rd, 2005
Silkworm hemolymph inhibits apoptosis in Chinese hamster ovary cells thereby increasing production of erythropoietin. S.S. Choi and associates at Seoul National University discussed a recent study regarding apoptosis; they reported, "To produce erythropoietin (EPO), Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were first cultured in a medium containing FBS (growth medium) and then in a serum free medium containing sodium butyrate (production medium). Sodium butyrate increases recombinant protein production, but also induces apoptosis, which reduces cell viability and productivity." "In a previous study," the researchers noted, "we found that silkworm hemolymph...
