Cell Culture Engineering XV
Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells are the most frequently used mammalian cell factory for the production of human-like recombinant proteins. Due to existing limitations in growth and protein production, genetic optimization of CHO cell lines may significantly enhance bioprocess productivities. Knockdown of genes by siRNAs is a standard method to identify genes involved in a desirable phenotype, either because their knockdown improves or degenerates the property. As at least 13000 different transcripts are present in a cell at any time, it is of interest to develop a method that is able to efficiently test the effect of gene knockdown at …

Cell Culture Engineering XV
Most of the high yielding transient gene expression (TGE) methods for CHO cells reported in the literature involve extensive cell line engineering and plasmid vector optimization in addition to long fed batch cultures lasting up to 21 days. However, this is a laborious, time intensive process and also requires specific vector engineering for transient expression. Here, we present results from development of a high titer TGE process based on GS-CHO cells without resorting to host cell line engineering or TGE specific vector engineering. This was achieved by optimization of direct addition of DNA and PEI, use of DMA to enhance …

Cell Culture Engineering XV
Each stage of cell culture process development requires fit for purpose tools. The selection of a fed-batch cultivation system is often based on throughput and cost. However, the process knowledge derived from different systems and scales is not necessarily identical. Hence, a careful evaluation of systems which are already established or newly implemented is essential. We recently introduced a novel high throughput fed-batch screening system (1) and the objective of this study was to provide data on how it compares with other systems used in early and late stage cell culture process development. We describe the performance of 12 different …

Mouse is the preferred model organism for testing drugs designed to increase sociability. We present a method to quantify mouse sociability in which the test mouse is placed in a standardized apparatus and relevant behaviors are assessed in three different sessions (called session I, II, and III). The apparatus has three compartments (see Figure 1), the left and right compartments contain an inverted cup which can house a mouse (called “stimulus mouse”). In session I, the test mouse is placed in the cage and its mobility is characterized by the number of transitions made between compartments. In session II, a …

Background: Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful light scattering technique that can be used for sensitive immunoassay development and cell labeling. A major obstacle to using SERS is the complexity of fabricating SERS probes since they require nanoscale characterization and optical uniformity. The light scattering response of SERS probes may also be modulated by the substrate used for SERS analysis. A typical SERS substrate such as quartz can be expensive. Polystyrene is a cheaper substrate option but can decrease the SERS response due to interfering Raman emission peaks and high background fluorescence. The goal of this research is to …
