With the recent completion of the human genome sequencing project, scientists now face the daunting challenge of deciphering the function of these newly found genes quickly and efficiently. For biotechnology, it is equally important to identify the therapeutically relevant genes as quickly as possible. Mammalian expression systems provide many advantages to aid in this task. Mammalian cell lines have the capacity for proper post-translational modifications, including proper protein folding and glycosylation. In response to these needs, a CHO-K1 cell line that grows in suspension and in serum-free media was initially established and designated CHO-K1-S. An antibody gene of interest was chosen as the target for optimization rather than a reporter gene system. A comparison of various lipid transfection reagents was made using recombinant protein expression as the endpoint readout. Various other parameters including lipid:DNA ratios, cell density, and transfections in shaker versus spinner flasks were tested using the CHO-K1-S cell line. As a result, a rapid and reliable transient transfection protocol was developed. Using this procedure, we have produced milligram/per liter quantities of bioactive recombinant proteins from several genes of interest.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007141 Immunoglobulin Fc Fragments Crystallizable fragments composed of the carboxy-terminal halves of both IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Fc fragments contain the carboxy-terminal parts of the heavy chain constant regions that are responsible for the effector functions of an immunoglobulin (COMPLEMENT fixation, binding to the cell membrane via FC RECEPTORS, and placental transport). This fragment can be obtained by digestion of immunoglobulins with the proteolytic enzyme PAPAIN.

D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D014162 Transfection The uptake of naked or purified DNA by CELLS, usually meaning the process as it occurs in eukaryotic cells. It is analogous to bacterial transformation (TRANSFORMATION, BACTERIAL) and both are routinely employed in GENE TRANSFER TECHNIQUES. Transfections
D016466 CHO Cells CELL LINE derived from the ovary of the Chinese hamster, Cricetulus griseus (CRICETULUS). The species is a favorite for cytogenetic studies because of its small chromosome number. The cell line has provided model systems for the study of genetic alterations in cultured mammalian cells. CHO Cell,Cell, CHO,Cells, CHO
