This fully updated volume explores notable developments in the field of mammalian cell-based recombinant protein production. Beginning with methods for transient recombinant protein production, the book continues with methods for stable cell pool generation, protein production using stable clonal cell lines, as well as high-throughput screening technologies for characterizing transient cell surface protein ectodomain expression and for identifying host genes involved in protein production. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Recombinant Protein Expression in Mammalian Cells: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition serves as an ideal guide for researchers investigatingprotein structure and function and accelerating the discovery of new therapeutic proteins.

This detailed volume explores advances in vector design, DNA delivery, cell cultivation, host cell engineering, and bioprocess optimization within the study of recombinant protein expression in mammalian cells. The majority of the protocols employ either Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) or human embryonic kidney 293 cells (HEK293), the workhorses of the field, as the production host;  however, the methods can be adapted to other mammalian hosts under the appropriate cell-specific conditions. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.Authoritative and convenient, Recombinant Protein Expression in Mammalian Cells: Methods and Protocols aims to aid researchers in building on our knowledge of protein structure and function and to speed the discovery of new therapeutic proteins.
