A controlled environmental culture system for the production of erythropoietin.
A controlled environmental culture system in which consistent growth of fetal liver cells typical of the tissue of origin and capable of producing erythropoietin in culture is described. This system attempts to duplicate the major components of the natural habitat of the mammalian cell allowing for meaningful studies to be conducted on the regulation and control of erythropoietin biosynthesis. The direct effects of changes in pO2, pCO2, pH and various cell nutrients on cells producing erythropoietin is now possible.
