Popis: | Gene amplification methodologies are frequently employed for the generation of large quantities of recombinant proteins in mammalian cells. Although they usually guarantee very high yields, they are very time consuming. In addition, due to the large genomic re-arrangements that frequently occur with amplification, the resulting high-producing clones can be unstable. We herein describe significant improvements to the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR)/methotrexate (MTX) based gene amplification methodology typically employed to improve yields of recombinant proteins produced in genetically engineered CHO host cells. We demonstrate substantial synergy when such gene amplification is combined with extremely high codon optimisation strategies. As a result, expression saturation can be achieved rapidly, in as low as 5 nM MTX, with minimal effort and without compromise in final yields achieved. |
