Generation of a Large Peptide Phage Display Library by Self-Ligation of Whole-Plasmid PCR Product

Christian Heinis, Xudong Kong, Vanessa Carle, Cristina Diaz Perlas, Kaycie Marie Butler

The success of phage display, used for developing target-specific binders based on peptides and proteins, depends on the size and diversity of the library screened, but generating large libraries of phage-encoded polypeptides remains challenging. New pepti ...

Scalable Production of AAV Vectors in Orbitally Shaken HEK293 Cells

Florian Maria Wurm, Bernard Schneider, Vivianne Padrun, Daniel Roman Blessing, Gabriel Vachey, Nicole Déglon

Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are currently among the most commonly applied for in vivo gene therapy approaches. The evaluation of vectors during clinical development requires the production of considerable amounts of highly pure and potent vectors. ...

Helical-Track Bioreactors for Bacterial, Mammalian and Insect Cell Cultures

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Stéphanie Tissot, Clara Joséphine Douet

We investigated the cultivation of bacterial, mammalian and insect cells in an orbitally-shaken 250-mL disposable tube that incorporates a helical track (HT) on its inside wall. The mass transfer coefﬁcient of oxygen (kLa) was 200%–400% higher in the HT tu ...

Large-Scale Transfection of Mammalian Cells

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Carine Meerschman

The large-scale transfection of mammalian cells allows moderate (milligram to gram) amounts of recombinant proteins (r-proteins) to be obtained for fundamental or clinical research. In this article, we describe a one-liter transfection using polyethyleneim ...

Identification of genetic insulator elements to increase the safety of viral gene therapy vectors

Armelle Gaussin

Haematopoeitic system diseases, both acquired and inherited, can be currently cured by allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This treatment provides highly successful immune function recovery for patients receiving grafts of HLA-compatible d ...

Large scale plasmid production

Plasmid DNA was originally produced in small amounts for genetic modification for protein production purposes. However since the rapid advances in gene therapy and DNA vaccines, plasmid DNA became a therapeutic product. The use of non-viral vectors for saf ...

Bioconjugates for bioseparation by affinity precipitation

Matteo Costioli

Recent advances in the fields of biotechnology and medicine have intensified the necessity for pharmaceutical-grade biomacromolecules purification (e.g. enzymes, antibodies, plasmid DNA). One of the key factors for a successful downstream process is the po ...

Transfection of partially purified plasmid DNA for high level transient protein expression in HEK293-EBNA cells

Florian Maria Wurm, Martin Jordan, Jason Wright

One of the major constraints to performing large-scale transfections of cultured mammalian cells for the transient expression of recombinant proteins is the production of large quantities of purified plasmid DNA. In this report partially purified plasmid D ...

Molecular cloning, genetic mapping, and expression analysis of four zebrafish c/ebp genes

Andrew Charles Oates

The CCAAT/enhancer binding protein family (C/EBP) are transcription factors that play integral roles in the development and function of many organ systems, including hematopoietic cells, adipose tissues, and liver. We have identified and characterized puta ...

Molecular cloning and immunolocalization of a novel vertebrate trp homologue from Xenopus

Carl Petersen

We report the sequence, structure and distribution of a novel transient receptor potential (trp) homologue from Xenopus, Xtrp, determined by screening an oocyte cDNA library. On the basis of sequence similarity and predicted structure, Xtrp appears to be a ...
