UCOE® Expression Technology - Mammalian Expression

 Request Information

UCOE® Expression Technology

Ubiquitous Chromatin Opening Element (UCOE®) technology gives major improvements in gene expression in stably transfected mammalian cells through effects on the structure of chromatin. UCOE® technology prevents transgene silencing and gives consistent, stable and high-level gene expression irrespective of the chromosomal integration site. UCOE® technology expression elements are small DNA elements (isolated from around house-keeping genes, which need to be active most of the time) which create a transcriptionally active open chromatin environment around an integrated transgene, maximizing its potential to be transcribed into protein irrespective of the position of the transgene in the chromosome.

Benefits

  • Rapid: Grams of protein in < 30 days
  • Boosts: Expression levels up to 20-fold higher than conventional vectors without UCOE® technology
  • Stable: Pools of cells stable > 130 generations
  • High yield: gram quantities of protein
  • Easy to use: Small DNA elements, capable of making two protein chains per plasmid, e.g., antibodies
  • Versatile: Antibodies, EPO, GPCRs, Enzymes, Cytokines, etc., expressed
  • Compatible: Enhances industry standard platforms, e.g., CHO cells, CMV promoters, etc.
  • Serum-free: Protein-free media used throughout
  • Scaleable: Up to 100 L in shake flasks and fermentors
  • Reproducible: Stably-transfected pools can be frozen, providing working stocks for further production without the need for re-transfection
  • Transferable: UCOE®-containing vectors are also suitable for large-scale manufacture
