Metabolic selection and amplification for stable cell line generation
Selection of highly productive stable cell clones is of primary importance when it comes to stable cell line development. For several decades now, metabolic selection has become the preferred method to select the most productive clones for bioproduction. This field is characterized by intense research activity due to the important economic issues related to the production of biotherapeutics. Overcoming this challenge means reducing production costs by increasing the productivity of stable cell lines, while reducing their development timelines. Metabolic selection is based on the disruption of a vital metabolic pathway. In the biopharmaceutical industry, the enzymes glutamine synthetase (GS) and dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) are the most commonly used selectable markers for the disruption of metabolic pathways. GS and DHFR are involved in the synthesis of the vital metabolites glutamine and purines, respectively.
When using a metabolic selection strategy, the stable clone selection process is based on cell culture in a medium lacking the vital metabolite. Thus, only the cells able to endogenously produce the target metabolite will be able to survive in the culture media. In expression systems lacking DHFR or GS activity, endogenous production of the vital metabolite is only possible for cells stably transfected with a plasmid containing the GS or DHFR gene. This selection process can further be amplified by the addition of DHFR or GS inhibitors such as MTX or MSX, respectively. Gradually increasing inhibitor concentration leads to gene amplification in order to overexpress GS or DHFR. Therefore, since the marker gene is linked to the recombinant protein gene to express (both genes on the same plasmid), recombinant protein production is amplified in the same proportion as the marker production.
As a protein production expert, ProteoGenix masters all the steps of the process leading to a highly productive and stable CHO cell line. Together with our FTO cell line and unrivalled guarantees, our expertise ensures you a safe investment and a strong ROI.
