Disposable orbitally shaken TubeSpin bioreactor 600 for Sf9 cell cultivation in suspension

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Xiao Shen, Dominique Terry Monteil Jr, Giulia Tontodonati

Disposable orbitally shaken TubeSpin bioreactor 600 tubes (TS600s) were recently developed for the bench-scale cultivation of animal cells in suspension. Here we compared batch cultures of Sf9 insect cells in TS600s, spinner flasks, and shake flasks. Super ...

User-Friendly Image-Based Segmentation and Analysis of Chromosomes

Michaël Unser, Florian Maria Wurm, Lucia Baldi Unser, Ricard Delgado Gonzalo, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

We designed two efficient and user-friendly tools for the segmentation and analysis of images containing chromosomes or, more generally, rod-shaped elements that are spread on microscopic slides. The segmentation tool allows to automatically extract the pr ...

Comparison of Three Transposons for the Generation of Highly Productive Recombinant CHO Cell Pools and Cell Lines

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Yashas Rajendra, Sowmya Balasubramanian

Several naturally occurring vertebrate transposable elements have been genetically modified to enable the transposition of recombinant genes in mammalian cells. We compared three transposonspiggyBac, Tol2, and Sleeping Beautyfor their ability to generate c ...

A comparison of orbitally-shaken and stirred-tank bioreactors: pH modulation and bioreactor type affect CHO cell growth and protein glycosylation

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Marc Moniatte, Dominique Terry Monteil Jr, Valentin Juvet

Orbitally shaken bioreactors (OSRs) support the suspension cultivation of animal cells at volumetric scales up to 200 L and are a potential alternative to stirred-tank bioreactors (STRs) due to their rapid and homogeneous mixing and high oxygen transfer ra ...

Rapid recombinant protein production from piggyBac transposon-mediated stable CHO cell pools

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Zuzana Kadlecova, Sowmya Balasubramanian

Heterogeneous populations of stably transfected cells (cell pools) can serve for the rapid production of moderate amounts of recombinant proteins. Here, we propose the use of the piggyBac (PB) transposon system to improve the productivity and long-term sta ...

A simple plasmid-based transient gene expression method using High Five cells

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Virginie Bachmann, Xiao Shen

The High Five (H5) cell line, derived from the lepidopteran Trichoplusia ni, is one of the major insect cell hosts for the production of recombinant proteins using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). Here, we describe a simple polyethylenimine ...

Enhanced Plasmid DNA Utilization in Transiently Transfected CHO-DG44 Cells in the Presence of Polar Solvents

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Yashas Rajendra, Divor Kiseljak, Sowmya Balasubramanian

Although the protein yields from transient gene expression (TGE) with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have recently improved, the amount of plasmid DNA (pDNA) needed for transfection remains relatively high. We describe a strategy to reduce the pDNA amou ...

Transcriptional and post-transcriptional limitations of high-yielding, PEI-mediated transient transfection with CHO and HEK-293E cells

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Yashas Rajendra, Divor Kiseljak

Transient gene expression (TGE) in human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells is a well-established technology for the rapid generation of recombinant proteins. Although the maximum TGE yields have reached 1 g/L or more, the amo ...
