DNA delivery by microinjection for the generation of recombinant mammalian cell lines

Florian Maria Wurm, Madiha Derouazi, David Hacker, Sébastien Chenuet

Gene transfer methods for producing recombinant cell lines are often not very efficient. One reason is that the recombinant DNA is delivered into the cell cytoplasm and only a small fraction reaches the nucleus. This chapter describes a method for microinj ...

Accelerating the development time of recombinant mammalian cell lines producing high titers of protein therapeutics

Sébastien Chenuet

The forthcoming arrival on the market of numerous protein therapeutics that require high clinical doses will foster the need for high-producing mammalian cell lines. Furthermore, pressures to reduce the development time for new therapeutics has meant more ...

Rational vector design and multi-pathway modulation of HEK 293E cells yield recombinant antibody titers exceeding 1 g/l by transient transfection under serum-free conditions

Florian Maria Wurm, Gaurav Backliwal, Sébastien Chenuet, Sarah Wulhfard

Transient transfection allows for fast production of recombinant proteins. However, the current bottlenecks in transient transfection are low titers and low specific productivity compared to stable cell lines. Here, we report an improved transient transfec ...

Calcium phosphate transfection generates mammalian recombinant cell lines with higher specific productivity than polyfection

Florian Maria Wurm, Madiha Derouazi, David Hacker, Nicolas Jaccard, Sébastien Chenuet

Transfection with polyethylenimine (PEI) was evaluated as a method for the generation of recombinant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO DG44) cell lines by direct comparison with calcium phosphate-DNA coprecipitation (CaPO4) using both green fluorescent protein (G ...

Coexpression of acidic fibroblast growth factor enhances specific productivity and antibody titers in transiently transfected HEK293 cells

Florian Maria Wurm, Gaurav Backliwal, Sébastien Chenuet

Recombinant proteins are of great commercial and scientific interest. However, most current production methods using mammalian cells involve the time- and labor-intensive step of creating stable cell lines. Although production methods based on transient ge ...
