Simulations of fed-batch hybridoma cell cultures were performed with two different models, a new model suggested by Nielsen and an older model suggested by Batt and Kompala. The response of the new Nielsen model was less sensitive to changes in feed concentrations and frequencies than the Batt and Kompala model. The new simulations with the Nielsen model as well as those previously with the Batt and Kompala model indicate, that possible benefits of fed-batch cultivations must be sought in other features than in intrinsic metabolic kinetics.
