Mammalian Expression System

Mammalian Cell Expression System (SC1259)


Mammalian cells have the ability to perform most comprehensive post-translational modifications and to secrete glycoproteins that are correctly folded and contain complex antennary oligosaccharides with terminal sialic acid. Mammalian cells are widely used in the production of recombinant proteins, antibodies, virus, viral-subunit proteins, and gene-therapy vectors.

GenScript recommends its mammalian expression services for cases in which the folding of the proteins is crucial to the customer's intended application and cases in which the internal machinery of E. coli is unable to express the protein with desired conformation and modification. Our proprietary 293 and CHO suspension system platform promotes fast production and delivery of recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies up to grams level.

1. Bacterial Expression: GenScript has developed BacPowerTM technologies to tackle hard-to-express and hard-to-dissolve proteins. Guaranteed package (SC1253): 3 mg purified protein.

2. Yeast Expression: Our yeast expression system employs stable and durable production strains that resemble mammalian protein processing, incorporating features of high yield, high productivity, and dramatic reductions in costs and time requirements.

3. Insect Cell/Baculovirus Expression: GenScript has pioneered methods for the secretion of recombinant proteins from baculovirus-infected insect cells. Our services are suitable for academic institutions and both the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

4. Process Development and Scale-up: GenScript can optimize the system's growth and production media, also providing a thorough analysis of the growth rate, subcultivation ratio, cell mass, and specific and volumetric productivity using productivity-enhancing conditions. Also, a scale-down model can be applied to predict cell performance. GenScript employs a novel and highly productive proprietary system which is featured with predictive high-throughput.

5. Purification: Comprehensive purification method and tag to meet you specific needs. The purification tag can be removed via a specific protease, and the protein is further purified by gel-filtration.

6. Protein characterization: Upon completion of each project, our specialists confirm that the final product meets the client's exact specifications. Typically, this assessment includes any or all of the following: SDS or native PAGE followed by appropriate staining, protein concentration determinations, Western blotting, absorption spectrum, N-terminal sequencing, mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy, and activity assays.

7. mAb Sequencing: GenScript's advanced technology offers fast and professional sequencing services for your valuable monoclonal antibodies. Our ISO 9001:2000 certified antibody sequencing service can speed and facilitate your patent applications, database banking, and antibody therapeutics.
