Calcium phosphate transfection is a widely used method to produce recombinant proteins in mammalian cells. However, the mechanisms involved in plasmid DNA transfer to the nucleus of the transfected cells remain poorly understood and result in great variati ...
To clone novel type 1 Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO) genes, we isolated or collected 25 bacterial strains able to grow on alicyclic compounds. Twelve of the bacterial strains yielded polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fragments with highly degenerate pr ...
The final glycosylation pattern of recombinant proteins might be determined by the choice of the host cell, cell culture conditions and the purification. Each step influences glycosylation and improved glycosylation of the product may thus be obtained by c ...
BACKGROUND: The transplantation of encapsulated cells genetically engineered to secrete human erythropoietin (hEpo) represents an alternative to repeated injections of the recombinant hormone for the treatment of Epo-responsive anemia. In the present study ...
Encapsulation of the protein drug hGH in degradable polyethylene glycol-based hydrogel microspheres was demonstrated to result in burst-free release appropriate for a once-per-week prepn. of the drug. Small needle sizes, lack of burst, and lack of local in ...
Using transient expression, high amounts (>20 mg/mL) of secreted anti-human Rhesus-D IgG1 were produced in a suspension-adapted HEK293 EBNA cell line (Meissner et al., Biotechnol Bioeng 75: 197-203, 2001). Time of harvest was 3 days after transfection. For ...
This is the first report of two successful 100 l scale transienttransfections in a standard stirred bioreactor. More than half a gram of a monoclonal antibody (IgG) were produced in less than 10 days using a technology called large-scale transient gene exp ...
Tackling neurodegenerative diseases represents a formidable challenge for our ageing society. Recently, major achievements have been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms responsible for such diseases, and, simultaneously, numerous proteins such a ...
A new concept based on microstructuring techniques is presented to achieve size-dependent electrophoretic migration of DNA in free solution. Topographically structured microfluidic channels with periodical cavities in the range of the radius of gyration of ...
Transient gene expression (TGE) in mammalian cells at the reactor scale is becoming increasingly important for the rapid production of recombinant proteins. We improved a process for transient calcium phosphate-based transfection of HEK293-EBNA cells in a ...
