The cell density could be enhanced by increasing the concentration of microcarrier. At a microcarrier concentration of 10 mg/ml. the cell density could reach 4 to 5 × 106 cells/ml. It was shown that these cell lines would spontaneously release from the microcarrier to attach to and proliferate on fresh microcarriers. We were thus able to scale up cultivation using a simple method. i. e. by adding fresh microcarriers and medium directly into the culture system to about 2, 4 or 8 times the original volume. Using a perfusion culture system. we have successfully cultivated CLF-8B2 cells in a 2 L bioreactor for several weeks at medium perfusion rates of 0. 5 to 3working volumes.
