The authors investigated the main technological parameters of cultivation of interferon type I (α/β-IFN) producing cells in home-made experimental devise; the yeast RNA-tilorone hydrochlorid molecular complex immobilized on Sferon-300 beads (IMMC) was used as an IFN inducer. The experiments were made using human blood mononuclear cells (suspension culture) and established testicular porcine cells (monolayer culture). The authors determined the optimal producing cell quantity/IMMC beads ratios as well as the optimal cultural medium stirring velocity for each culture. There are conclusions concerning the importance of parameters mention above using bioreactors to obtain IFN preparations during large-scale cultivation using the IMMC.
