CHO Cell Line:
Production of recombinant protein therapeutics is considered one of the most innovative biotechnological advances and can be highly effective for treatment of many diseases and conditions, including cancers, genetic and autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. Various non-human mammalian cell lines are generally used for the production of therapeutic proteins, with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line being the most important because of its ability to perform human-like protein folding. The Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) tissue cell line was first established in 1957 using Chinese Hamster (Cricetulus griseus) ovary cells and is one of the most well-used cell lines for clinical research, and for the synthesis of therapeutic proteins. Also, this mammalian cell line is highly utilized in transfection as well as in large-scale recombinant protein production. CHO cells exhibit an epithelial-like cell morphology and are extensively employed in biomedical research and biotechnology R&D applications. Altogen Biosystems offers the lipid-mediated CHO transfection reagent kit for Chinese hamster ovary cells that yields nearly 90% transfection efficiency.
The CHO (Chinese Hamster Ovary) cell line is a cell line derived from the ovary of the Chinese hamster. It is a popular cell line used in biotechnology and biomedical research for the production of recombinant proteins and therapeutic proteins such as monoclonal antibodies. CHO cells have several advantages as a host cell for the production of recombinant proteins. They are able to correctly fold and process complex proteins, and they are able to perform post-translational modifications such as glycosylation. CHO cells also have a high growth rate, are able to grow in suspension culture, and are adaptable to various serum-free media. The CHO cell line has become a workhorse for the biopharmaceutical industry, producing a large percentage of the world’s therapeutic proteins. Researchers also use CHO cells to study fundamental biological processes, such as protein synthesis, secretion, and processing, as well as to develop new methods for protein production and purification.
Data:
Figure 1. GAPD mRNA levels were quantified using real-time qRT-PCR in the CHO cells transfected with siRNAs targeting GAPD or non-silencing siRNA. Forty-eight hours post-transfection, the cells were harvested and analyzed by real-time qRT-PCR for GAPDH mRNA expression levels. Data were normalized against the 18S rRNA signal. Control samples were either mock-transfected or untreated. Values are normalized to untreated sample. Data are means ± SD (n=3).
Figure 2. Protein expression of GAPDH in CHO cells. DNA plasmid expressing GAPDH or siRNA targeting GAPDH were transfected into CHO cells following Altogen Biosystems transfection protocol. At 72 hours post-transfection the cells were analyzed by Western Blot for protein expression levels (normalized by total protein, 10 µg of total protein loaded per each well). Untreated cells used as a negative control.
