摘要:
The invention provides compositions and methods for producing a biological product from a host cell. In various embodiments, the biological product is a polypeptide, a metabolite, a nutraceutical, a chemical intermediate, a biofuel, a food additive, or an antibiotic. In one aspect, the invention provides for a method for producing a biological product from a host cell. The method generally comprises contacting the cell with a RNA effector molecule, a portion of which is complementary to a target gene, maintaining the cell in a large-scale bioreactor for a time sufficient to modulate expression of the target gene, wherein the modulation enhances production of the biological product from the cell, and isolating the biological product from the cell.

The present invention relates to molecular biology, molecular genetics, and bioprocessing. The embodiments provide for compositions and methods for producing a biological product, such as an immunogenic agent, in an embryonated egg by introducing into the egg a RNA effector molecule capable of modulating expression of a target gene, wherein the modulation enhances production of the biological product in the egg. These methods provide for RNAi-based approaches to optimize the production of biologics from embryonated eggs, such as the production of viral vaccines including seasonal and pandemic flu vaccines. The invention also relates to molecules, reagents, cells, and kits useful for carrying out the methods, and biological products produced by the methods.
摘要:
Provided herein are methods and compositions for generating a cell line capable of producing a biological product, using a gene amplification based system. Methods and compositions are provided to inhibit endogenous selectable amplifiable marker genes using RNA interference and prevent the selection of false positives during generation of a custom cell line. Such methods improve efficiency of cell line development and do not require the use of specialized substrates or cells lacking the endogenous selectable amplifiable marker gene to negate the effect of endogenously expressed levels of the selectable amplifiable marker gene in cells.

A system for allowing a wide selection of components to affect a desired result in the positioning business. Up to nine axes of coordinated motion are offered each of which may use a servomotor, a single or double rod air cylinder. The control for the system is a series of digital commands that cause the cylinder to accelerate, decelerate, maintain a given velocity, stop or pause and repeat a series of commands. It uses a low power servo system which, when activated, opens an air valve to an air cylinder which then moves until the valve actuator is turned off by the cylinder thus causing the air cylinder to follow the lower power servo system.
