There is provided a method for plasmid DNA extraction to reproducibly yield relatively crude preparation which is suitable for transfection into mammalian cells. The inventors have determined that the high level of purification previously thought to be nec ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Large-scale transient expression from mammalian cells is a new technology. Breakthroughs have been achieved for non-viral delivery methods: transfections can now be done at the 1-10 L scale with mammalian cells grown in suspension. Production of 1-20 mg/L ...
Human papillomavirus type 18 (HPV18) capsid proteins L1 and L2, synthesised in mammalian cells using recombinant vaccinia viral expression vectors, are transported to the nucleus and assembled into virus-like particles. When 293T cells, which express SV40 ...
Two strains of minute virus of mice (MVM) show different host-cell specificities. MVM(i) grows in T lymphocytes whereas MVM(p) is fibroblast-specific. By constructing recombinant viral DNAs between the genomes of the two strains, we have shown that two seg ...
Monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) are valuable reagents for the purification, characterization and immunolocalization of proteins.In this study, we raised Mabs against human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) using baculovirus particles display ...
Using flow cytometry, single cell sorting, confocal microscopy and fluorescent plasmids, a thorough study of DNA uptake, DNA fate and DNA expression in mammalian cells transfected with the widely used calcium-phosphate precipitation method was executed. We ...
Replacement of the hyperimmune anti-Rhesus (Rh) D immunoglobulin, currently used to prevent haemolytic disease of the newborn, by fully recombinant human anti-RhD antibodies would solve the current logistic problems associated with supply and demand. The c ...
