Transient Gene Expression in HEK-293E Cells for Recombinant Protein Production

The growing demand of biopharmaceutical products is boosting the market for therapeutic recombinant proteins (r-proteins). More than half of the 140 r-proteins that have gained approval for human therapeutic use are manufactured in mammalian cells that mak ...

Gene transfer and protein dynamics in stem cells using single cell electroporation in a microfluidic device

Albert van den Berg

There is great interest in genetic modification of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), not only for research purposes but also for use in (autologous) patient-derived-patientused transplantations. A major drawback of bulk methods for genetic ...

Rational vector design and multi-pathway modulation of HEK 293E cells yield recombinant antibody titers exceeding 1 g/l by transient transfection under serum-free conditions

Florian Maria Wurm, Gaurav Backliwal, Sébastien Chenuet, Sarah Wulhfard

Transient transfection allows for fast production of recombinant proteins. However, the current bottlenecks in transient transfection are low titers and low specific productivity compared to stable cell lines. Here, we report an improved transient transfec ...

Cell culture imaging using microimpedance tomography

Philippe Renaud, Olof Pontus Linderholm

We present a novel, inexpensive, and fast microimpedance tomography system for two-dimensional imaging of cell and tissue cultures. The system is based on four-electrode measurements using 16 planar microelectrodes (5 mum x 4 mm) integrated into a culture ...

Enhancement of the efficiency of non-viral gene delivery by application of pulsed magnetic field

Heinrich Hofmann, Alke Fink, Benedikt Steitz

New approaches to increase the efficiency of non-viral gene delivery are still required. Here we report a simple approach that enhances gene delivery using permanent and pulsating magnetic fields. DNA plasmids and novel DNA fragments (PCR products) contain ...

Transient gene expression in suspension HEK-293 cells: application to large-scale protein production

Florian Maria Wurm, Lucia Baldi Unser, Natalie Muller, Philippe Pierre Girard

Recent advances in genomics, proteomics, and structural biology raised the general need for significant amounts of pure recombinant protein (r-protein). Because of the difficulty in obtaining in some cases proper protein folding in bacteria, several method ...

Mathematical modeling of the eukaryotic heat-shock response: dynamics of the hsp70 promoter

Vassily Hatzimanikatis

The heat-shock response in humans and other eukaryotes is a highly conserved genetic network that coordinates the cellular response to protein damage and is essential for adaptation and survival of the stressed cell. It involves an immediate and transient ...
