Assembling Multi-subunit Complexes Using Mammalian Expression

Adv Exp Med Biol. 2016:896:225-38. doi: 10.1007/978-3-319-27216-0_15.

Abstract

In this chapter conventional and emerging new technologies for the production of complex biologics in mammalian expression systems are summarized. The essential features of the most relevant methods to generate stable production cell lines for the expression of recombinant multi-protein complexes are described. Especially the promising multiple targeted integration strategy by Flp or CRISPR/Cas9 mediated recombination and their future impact on multi-protein expression are highlighted.

Keywords: Flp/FRT recombination; Multi RMCE; MultiMam; Stable cell line; Targeted integration.
