Abstract

Despite the relatively low transfection efficiency and low specific foreign protein productivity (qp) of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell-based transient gene expression (TGE) systems, TGE-based recombinant protein production technology predominantly employs CHO cells for pre-clinical research and development purposes. To improve TGE in CHO cells, Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen-1 (EBNA-1)/polyoma virus large T antigen (PyLT)-co-amplified recombinant CHO (rCHO) cells stably expressing EBNA-1 and PyLT were established using dihydrofolate reductase/methotrexate-mediated gene amplification. The level of transiently expressed Fc-fusion protein was significantly higher in the EBNA-1/PyLT-co-amplified pools compared to control cultures. Increased Fc-fusion protein production by EBNA-1/PyLT-co-amplification resulted from a higher qp attributable to EBNA-1 but not PyLT expression. The qp for TGE-based production with EBNA-1/PyLT-co-amplified rCHO cells (EP-amp-20) was approximately 22.9-fold that of the control culture with CHO-DG44 cells. Rather than improved transfection efficiency, this cell line demonstrated increased levels of mRNA expression and replicated DNA, contributing to an increased qp. Furthermore, there was no significant difference in N-glycan profiles in Fc-fusion proteins produced in the TGE system. Taken together, these results showed that the use of rCHO cells with co-amplified expression of the viral elements EBNA-1 and PyLT improves TGE-based therapeutic protein production dramatically. Therefore, EBNA-1/PyLT-co-amplified rCHO cells will likely be useful as host cells in CHO cell-based TGE systems.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 April 2018.
All research outputs
#19,611,252
of 24,119,703 outputs
Outputs from Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
#6,478
of 8,034 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#258,447
of 331,716 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology
#98
of 141 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,119,703 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,034 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,716 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 141 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
