A recombinant protein can be defined as “a modified or manipulated protein encoded by recombinant DNA”. A plasmid containing the gene of interest, in an appropriate expression vector, is expressed in a specific host expression system with the aim [...]
At Peak Proteins, we use mammalian, insect and bacterial cells grown in specialised culture media for the expression of recombinant proteins. A key focus for us is to ensure the expression systems we use are running optimally, in order [...]
Dr Mark Elvin discusses his recent publication: Metabolic profiling of Chinese hamster ovary cell cultures at different working volumes and agitation speeds using spin tube reactors, Biotechnology Progress, September/October 2020, Volume 36 No 5, Mauro Torres, Mark Elvin, Zeynep [...]
In this article our Cells Team share some tips and tricks for improving the yields of recombinant proteins expression in mammalian cells An earlier blog outlined the benefits of using mammalian cells as an expression host. At Sygnature Discovery [...]
Why would you choose to express a protein in a mammalian cell host? An obvious alternative is to use E. coli that are easy, quick and cheap to grow. In contrast, mammalian cells grow slowly, use expensive medium, require expensive [...]
