Abstract:
The present invention is directed generally to systems and methods suitable for high level expression of recombinant proteins in suspension CHO cells. In particular, the invention allows introduction of the invention obviates the need to replace, replenish or supplement the growth medium during the procedure. The invention also relates to compositions and kits useful for culturing and transforming/transfecting suspension CHO cells.
Abstract:
High-yield mammalian transient expression systems can include a cell culture media (particularly serum free, non-animal derived, and/or chemically defined media) for introducing macromolecules and compounds (e.g., nucleic acid molecules) into cells (e.g., eukaryotic cells). Cells containing such introduced materials can then be cultured in the cell culture media. In particular, the invention allows introduction of nucleic acid molecules (e.g., vectors) into cells (particularly mammalian cells) and expression of proteins encoded by the nucleic acid molecules in the cells. The invention obviates the need to change the cell culture medium each time a different procedure is performed with the cells (e.g., culturing cells vs. transfecting cells). The invention also relates to compositions and kits useful for culturing and transforming/transfecting cells.

The present invention is directed generally to cell culture media (particularly serum free, non animal derived, and/or chemically defined media) which are useful for introducing macromolecules and compounds (e.g., nucleic acid molecules) into cells (e.g., eukaryotic cells). According to the invention, such introduction can take place in the presence of said medium. Cells containing such introduced materials can then be cultured in the medium and the effect of the introduced materials on the cells can be measured or determined. In particular, the invention allows introduction of nucleic acid molecules (e.g., vectors) into cells (particularly eukaryotic cells) and expression of proteins encoded by the nucleic acid molecules in the cells. The invention obviates the need to change the cell culture medium each time a different procedure is performed with the cells (e.g., culturing cells vs. transfecting cells). The invention also relates to compositions and kits useful for culturing and transforming/transfecting cells.
Abstract:
The instant technology relates to a production system to produce AAV vectors in a serum free suspension platform and at high titers. This technology uses reagents comprising media, cells, transfection reagent, AAV enhancer, and a lysis buffer, each of which is designed to provide maximal AAV production from suspension culture of mammalian cells, e.g. HEK293 cells. With this new system we are able to deliver up to about 2×1011 viral genomes per milliliter (vg/mL) of unconcentrated AAV vectors.
