Mammalian-ST™ Stable Cell Line / Stable Pool Development Service

Mammalian-ST™ is the stable mammalian cell line development service provided by Bio Bench. Bio Bench has achieved more than 600 stable cell line projects since 2013, including more than 50 antibody drug expressing cell lines. The table below lists the cell types that have been successfully generated into stable cell line, do not hesitate to request a quote from us!
Stable mammalian cell line is one of the most important tools in drug discovery, toxicity test, biological research and bio-pharma industry. In order to establish stable cell line capable of long-term stably expressing the GOI (gene of interest), the operation is commonly achieved by transfection of a reconstructed plasmid containing the GOI together with a selection marker (antibiotic or fluorescent protein), through either liposome-mediated transfection or virus infection (or called viral transduction).

General process of stable cell line development

​Transient expression and its pros and cons

The GOI (Gene of Interest) is commonly expressed by transient infection of mammalian cell line, and lead to successful expression of X milligram of protein. In small scale expression, transient transfection is 1) easy to operate – maximum 10 days training of new staff, 2) fast – 5 days from transfection to protein, and 3) reliable – relatively reproducible result >80%. However, once your project requires XX milligram, XXX milligram or even gram level of protein,  transient expression can be costly, laborious, time-consuming and risky. You may need to prepare large amount of plasmid and redundant cell culture priorly of transfection; all of the cells have to be in healthy condition at the time of transfection; if any problem happens – misoperation, contamination, low transfection efficiency and/or low expression level,  all of the procedures will have to be re-done.

​Stable pool/Stable cell line and its pros and cons

While talking about "stable", 2 concepts will be often discussed: stable pool and single clonal stable cell line. After transfection, the transfectants will be cultured in a medium containing growth inhibitors to remove the untransfected cells and low expression transfectants. The remaining group of cells is considered a stable pool. The stable pool may be seeded in 96-well (or 384-well, 1536-well, etc.) plate and subcloned to find out the stable single clone. This clone is defined as a stable single clonal cell line, or stable cell line. The stable cell line shows many advantages: constant GOI expression, easy cell culture and stable cell banking. It is thus ideal for midi-to-large scale protein expression or for long duration project.

Case study: Mammalian-ST™ Stable pool/Stable cell line

A drug potential antibody was discovered from human naive antibody library. After in-house test, one of the selected clones was considered “great performance”, and further experiment will require large amount of purified antibody. Client requests Bio Bench to establish a stable cell line and purify optimum quantity of antibody.
CHO-K1 was selected as expression host to establish the stable cell line. G418 was chosen as selection marker in order to simplify the process. A vector containing G418 resistance was use to carry the antibody gene.
After the operation, 1.2g/L titer was achieved by Bio Bench. Would like to learn more? Request full case study!
