AmProtein Expression Technology

AmProtein has discovered a universal GC-rich method that leads to a strong DNA physical structure. This strong DNA structure makes the gene promoter and enhancer continuously exposed to transcriptional machinery and factors by preventing chromatin condensing. It is truly a 'chromatin opening element' for possibly all eukaryotic gene expression.

FEATURES OF AMPROTEIN'S PMH 3 - 5 VECTOR SERIES:

  1. One can reach commercial level protein titers after only a few laboratory-scale stable gene transfections.
  2. A known universal vector set, working in mammalian, chicken and fish cells.
  3. Reaching 50-300pg/cell/day in 96-well plates for larger proteins (ie. antibodies) and 20-90pg/cell/day in 96-well plates for small proteins (ie. FSH and HBsAg).
  4. Used successfully in over 20 recombinant proteins and antibodies.

Making History

The development of the CHO dhfr- cell lines to increase expression titers was the first revolution in mammalian gene expression to transform research into a commercial process. However, with it came a tedious and costly cell clone screening process. Our pMH vector series has surpassed current expression technologies by delivering commercial level protein titers after only several stable gene transfections. This is the SECOND REVOLUTION for possibly the entire field of eukaryotic gene expression.
