Recombinant Protein Expression

Using multiple expression systems, including bacterial, insect, and mammalian expression systems, Alna-Bioscience has the capability to produce hard to express protein at milligram level. Whether you are focused on lead discovery, assay development, vaccine production, high throughput screening, or characterization of interesting gene products, we can find a solution for you. We provide a wide range of choices for protein expression with high quality in bacterial, yeast, baculovirus/insect cell, and mammalian cell systems, at both small and large scales.

E. Coli Expression

  • Transformation of the expression vector into E.Coli
  • Screening and selection of positive clones
  • Evaluation of expression by SDS-PAGE or Western blotting
  • Optimization of host strain with small-scale analysis in different E.Coli backgrounds
  • Growth and expression optimization by varying induction, temperature, cell density, time, antibiotics, media to overcome low production and/or insoluble protein production
  • Inclusion body isolation and preparation
  • Cell harvesting and lvsate preparation

Baculovirus Expression

  • Transfection of insect cells and generation of recombinant virus
  • Viral production and plaque purification
  • Test expression of recombinant virus clones
  • Amplification and purification of recombinant baculovirus
  • Viral titer determination and generation of high-titer virus stock
  • Expression optimization is Sf9 or HiFive cells and varying temperature, MOI, growth conditions, media
  • Solubility analysis
  • Large-scale culture protein production/li>
  • Cell harvesting (or conditioned medium) and lvsate preparation
  • High throughput screening of your multiple plasmids to find the most desired construct
  • Producing high titer viruses in one week

Large-scale Fermentation

  • High density cell production in shaker flasks or bio-reactors
  • Continuous flow, high-speed centrifugation for cell-paste recovery
  • Low temperature, foam-free, high-pressure cell lysis system
