Stable Cell Line Services for Assay Development

REQUEST NOW

Recombinant stable cell lines are one of the widely used tools in drug discovery, toxicity testing, and basic research. Long-term stable expression of a gene of interest (GOI) is usually achieved by transfection or viral transduction of a vector containing the expression cassette of the GOI together with a selection marker (antibiotics or fluorescent proteins). In contrast to transient expression, stable cell line offers reproducible results for assay studies. Read More »

After selection, cells that have the expression cassette incorporated into the genome will be enriched, resulting in stable pool cells. By clonal selection from the stable pool cells, single clone cells are generated. Both stable pools and single clones are frequently used in research.

Recombinant stable cell line development at GenScript includes over-expression, inducible expression, and shRNA knock-down expression of GOI. In addition, we developed lentivirus based CRISPR/Cas (Lenti-CRISPR/Cas9) technologies and platforms, in order to meet the increasing need of knock out cell line engineering of GOI, in particular, difficult-to-transfect cancer cell lines.

Applications for these stable cell lines include but not limited to drug screening, gene expression regulations, functional assays, membrane protein antibody FACS screening, antibody immunization boosting, protein localization study by fusion with GFP and living cell imaging, and in vivo tumor xenograft models.
