Testimonial
” I recently chose ProteoGenix to produce a recombinant protein in HEK293 cells. The high productivity and strong activity of the protein obtained, probably due to proper glycosylation and folding, allowed us to generate exciting results in functional studies and reach new milestones in our research project. The quality of the service provided, and the smooth and kind communication I had with the account manager in charge of our project, were paramount to this success. I’m happy to recommend ProteoGenix for recombinant protein productions. “

Case Study:
Claudiximab protein expression
A customer requested the recombinant expression of Claudiximab. He ordered a protein expression package including:
GENE SYNTHESIS AND SUBCLONING
The genes coding for the Heavy chain (HC) and the light chain (LC) of the therapeutic antibody Claudiximab were chemically synthesized with optimization for protein expression in mammalian cells. The genes were cloned in ProteoGenix’s proprietary mammalian cells expression vector pTXs1.

The most commonly used system of recombinant protein purification is E. coli. Indeed, it is the simplest, fastest and most cost effective system for custom expression of a protein. Bacterial cultures grow much faster than insect or mammalian cells or yeast. It is therefore easier and quicker to test a large number of different conditions. More solutions are also available for testing and therefore allow a higher success rate in expressing recombinant proteins. Transient expression yields of recombinant protein are also generally much higher than in yeast, baculovirus / insect cells or mammalian cells. Production of recombinant proteins in E. coli (Escherichia Coli) is often the preferred solution proposed by ProteoGenix when the final application requires large quantities of proteins such as crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and no Post-Translational Modifications (PTM) are required. However, the main drawbacks of E. coli system are the high amounts of endotoxins remaining in the final sample and the lack of Post-Translational modifications. It is possible to remove endotoxins but it isn’t convenient at an industrial stage when there is not much to be done to solve PTM problems apart from using a different expression system. With these five systems, we are able to meet the requirements of a large number protein synthesis orders and we therefore have a success rate of over 95% in recombinant protein synthesis. We are constantly working on integrating new systems and solutions to provide the best level of service for anyone who needs to buy high quality recombinant protein production services.
