  • Title: The application of SELDI-TOF mass spectrometry to mammalian cell culture.
    Author: Woolley JF, Al-Rubeai M.
    Journal: Biotechnol Adv; 2009; 27(2):177-84. PubMed ID: 19049820.
    Abstract:
    Surface Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionisation Time-of-Fight Mass Spectrometry (SELDI-TOF MS) is a technique by which protein profiles can be rapidly produced from a wide variety of biological samples. By employing chromatographic surfaces combined with the specificity and reproducibility of mass spectrometry it has allowed for profiles from complex biological samples to be analysed. Profiling and biomarker identification have been employed widely throughout the biological sciences. To date, however, the benefits of SELDI-TOF MS have not been realised in the area of mammalian cell culture. The advantages in identifying markers for cell stresses, apoptosis and other culture parameters mean that these tools could help greatly to enhance monitoring and control of bioreaction process and improve the production of therapeutics. Better characterisation of culture systems through proteome analysis will allow for improved productivity and better yields.
