What is PER.C6®? • a human designer cell line for manufacturing of biopharmaceuticalsin serum-free defined medium. • a collaboration with DSM Biologics for the application of PER.C6® offers the total package • bio-manufacturing from cell line generation • a cell banks to large-scale manufacturing • PERCIVIA is the new PER.C6® Development Center, specialized for the expression of recombinant pharmaceutical proteins. PERCIVIA is in the continuing improvement of PER.C6® baseline for material generation in support of pre-clinical and clinical research .
What is PER.C6®? Single human retina-derived cell PERC 6® cell line immortalized can replicate indefinitely RecombinantDNA technology provides Humanglycosylation characteristics + Adenovirus 5 DNA Transfectionwith Ad 5 E1 genes produce antibodies that match humanphysiology. Master Cell Bank Expansion
PERCIVIA CELL LINE • Cell Line Generation and culture • Compatible withbatch, fed batch • Compatible withXD™ Process • In ~ 2 weeks after inoculation: • viable cell concentration =100 – 150 X 106 cells/mL is achieved • volumetric productivity = 35 – 40 g/L of working volume
PER.C6® Advantages • Safe • animal-derived component free and chemically defined • agreement of the FDA for clinical trial in phase III • Rapid development • High basic productivities but it can be improved (The XD™ PROCESS, batch and fed process) • Scalable • rising volume demands, performed up to a 20,000 L capacity • compatible with other cell culture technologies on the market • Highly characterized and fully documented • BMF(Biologics Master File) is maintained with annually filed updates, according to GLP • Wellprotected • Numerous patents (2024) • customers need access to the BMF AND PER.C6® cells only available under agreement from the alliance Crucell - DMS
PER.C6® TechnologyAdvantages • Human-likeGlycosylation • Natural production of antibodies • that match human physiology (Betterglycosylation than Murine cell lines)
