The effect of pH on the toxicity of ammonia to a murine hybridoma.

Abstract:

:The growth inhibition of a murine hybridoma mediated by ammonium chloride was shown to vary with the pH of the culture medium. Values for the initial media concentration causing 50% growth inhibition (IC50) ranged from 4 mM to 7.6 mM as the pH was reduced from 7.8 to 6.8. A significant negative correlation was observed between the IC50 and the NH3 concentration of the medium, suggesting that ammonia and not ammonium may be the toxic species in the culture medium. The optimum initial pH for cell growth was 7.4. However, this optimum shifts to lower pH as ammonia accumulates in culture as a metabolic by-product. This suggests that in order to obtain high cell yields, it may be beneficial to adopt a culture strategy of lowering pH during cell growth to offset the inhibitory effects of accumulated ammonia.
