The use of filler DNA for improved transfection and reduced DNA needs in transient gene expression with CHO and HEK cells

چکیده
Background Transient gene expression (TGE) is a rapid method for the production of recombinant proteins. Protein productivity in TGE has improved significantly over the past decade, reaching 300 mg/L and 1 g/L in CHO DG44 (CHO) and HEK 293E (HEK) cells, respectively [1,2]. However, the amount of plasmid DNA needed for transfection remains relatively high, contributing significantly to the overall cost of the TGE process. In order to reduce the amount of plasmid DNA in TGE, we examined the possibility of partially replacing it with herring sperm DNA (non-coding “filler” DNA) in transfections of CHO and HEK cells.

Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main causative agent of cervical cancer worldwide leading to a big health problem, especially in the developing countries. Among 14 common high-risk genotypes, HPV16 accounts for more than 50% of all cervical cancers. The current prophylactic vaccines against HPV infection are based on L1 protein. Due to some drawbacks in the current vaccines such...

Background: The poor permeability of the plasma and nuclear membranes to DNA plasmids are two major barriers for the development of these therapeutic molecules. Therefore, success in gene therapy approaches depends on the development of efficient and safe non-viral delivery systems. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro delivery of plasmid DNA encoding HPV16 E7 gene...

Background: Pilot and large-scale production of recombinant proteins requires the presence of stable clones capable of producing large quantities of recombinant proteins. Not only the process of selecting stable clones is time consuming, but also the continuous culturing of clones in large-scale production may cause loss of incoming plasmid and recombinant genes. Thus, considering the advanceme...

Introduction: The Nef accessory protein is an attractive antigenic candidate in the development of HIV-1 DNA- or protein-based vaccines. The most crucial disadvantage of DNA and protein-based vaccines is their low immunogenicity, which can be improved by cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) as effective carrier molecules. Methods: In this study, the HIV-1 Nef protein was generated in the Escherichi...

Introduction: Neurotrophins, as a family of proteins, are responsible for induction of the survival, development, and function of neurons. Also, neurotropic factors are growth factors like Neurotrophins that help neurons survive. Moreover, Neurotrophins differentiate between progenitor cells so that neurons are formed. Despite the fact that the majority of mammalian brain neurons are produced p...
