Abstract:
The present invention is related to a cell culture medium for reducing the C-terminal heterogeneity of a polypeptide expressed in cell-culture, wherein the medium comprises at least one essential trace element in an effective amount, and to a cell culture process for reducing C-terminal heterogeneity of a protein, in which process an essential trace element is used.
