Complex proteins present a range of production challenges, including low expression levels, degradation, aggregation, a high degree of posttranslational modifications, and the need to use multiple or large expression plasmids. They also can lead to challenges in producing multi-subunit proteins with correct folding and subunit ratios. MaxCyte’s ExPERT platform for cell engineering alleviates those challenges by facilitating the production of complex proteins with high efficiency and cell viability in your cell line of choice. This technical note summarizes four applications…

Large Scale CHO Transient Gene Expression Using Flow Electroporation
Researchers have turned to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)–based transient gene expression (TGE) as an alternative to CHO stable cell line production for early stage antibody development. Despite advances in transfection methods and culture optimization, most CHO-based TGE systems produce antibody titers (low mg/L) that are insufficient for full use in biotherapeutic development pipelines. MaxCyte electroporation is a universal, transient transfection platform with unmatched quality, flexibility, and scalability and the capacity to transfect up to 2 × 1011 cells in under…
