    Abstract In the field of therapeutic protein production, process intensification strategies entailing higher starting cell seeding densities, can potentially increase culture productivity, lower cost of goods and improve facility utilization. However, increased cell densities often trigger apoptotic cell death at the end of the cell culture process and thus reduce total viable cell count. Apoptosis-resistant Chinese hamster ovary cell lines may offer the possibility to diminish this undesired outcome of the intensified production process. In this study, we have generated and tested Bax/Bak double-knock-out (DKO) apoptosis resistant hosts to express standard and bispecific antibodies, as well as complex molecules in intensified production processes both as pools and single cell clones, and at different scales. In all cases, therapeutic proteins expressed from clones or pools generated from the Bax/Bak DKO hosts showed not only better viability but also enabled extended productivity in the later stages of the 14-day intensified production process. The product qualities of the produced molecules were comparable between Bax/Bak DKO and wild type cells. Overall, we showed that Bax/Bak DKO apoptosis-resistant host cell lines significantly improve viability and volumetric productivity of the intensified production cultures without altering product qualities.

    Abstract Complex therapeutic antibody formats, such as bispecifics (bsAbs) or cytokine fusions, may provide new treatment options in diverse disease areas. However, the manufacturing yield of these complex antibody formats in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells is lower than monoclonal antibodies due to challenges in expression levels and potential formation of side products. To overcome these limitations, we performed a clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR associated protein 9 (Cas9)-based knockout (KO) arrayed screening of 187 target genes in two CHO clones expressing two different complex antibody formats in a production-mimicking set-up. Our findings revealed that Myc depletion drastically increased product expression (>40%) by enhancing cell-specific productivity. The Myc-depleted cells displayed decreased cell densities together with substantially higher product titers in industrially-relevant bioprocesses using ambr15 and ambr250 bioreactors. Similar effects were observed across multiple different clones, each expressing a distinct complex antibody format. Our findings reinforce the mutually exclusive relationship between growth and production phenotypes and provide a targeted cell engineering approach to impact productivity without impairing product quality. We anticipate that CRISPR/Cas9-based CHO host cell engineering will transform our ability to increase manufacturing yield of high-value complex biotherapeutics.
