Transient Gene Expression

Transient Gene Expression (TGE) is the optimal choice for achieving rapid mammalian production, serving as the initial stage in assessing the expression of proteins in mammalian cells.

Within a timeframe as short as 5 weeks, we can provide protein for research purposes and concurrently evaluate up to 72 constructs to ascertain the feasibility of protein expression in HEK293 or CHO cells. Upon the completion of initial feasibility studies, we can scale expression up to 30 L culture volume using shake-flasks.

  • Systems: HEK293-6E, CHO-3E7, or Your Preferred System
  • Scale from 1mL to 30L
  • Test up to 72 constructs in parallel
  • As little as 5 weeks to purified protein
  • Yields up to 500 mg/L

Workflow at Bioneer

Leveraging our expertise across diverse protein types, we provide early insights into the expression of your protein and mitigate risk through a flexible step-wise project approach with Go/No-Go decision points.

Process Step

Our approach

Time
