Abstract
As an important coagulation factor, activated coagulation factor VII (FVIIa) is mainly used to treat the bleeding of hemophilia patients who have developed inhibitory antibodies against FVIII and FIX conventional treatment. Recombinant human factor VII (rhFVII) produced in mammalian cell lines have been developed as the most important resource of FVIIa. However, cell lines express rhFVII protein derived from an exogenous expression vector at a lower level than most other proteins. In the current study, we have shown efficient rhFVII production in CHO cell lines using piggyBac (PB) transposon system. rhFVII is successfully expressed in fed-batch culture of CHO cells, and the expression of rhFVII up to 100 mg/L. Moreover, the purified secreted rhFVII was determined by SDS-PAGE and Western Blot. The coagulation activity was determined by the chromogenic Activity ELISA kit. In conclusion, this study has demonstrated that the piggyBac transposon system can be used for an efficient production of recombinant FVII.
期刊介绍:
Protein Expression and Purification is an international journal providing a forum for the dissemination of new information on protein expression, extraction, purification, characterization, and/or applications using conventional biochemical and/or modern molecular biological approaches and methods, which are of broad interest to the field. The journal does not typically publish repetitive examples of protein expression and purification involving standard, well-established, methods. However, exceptions might include studies on important and/or difficult to express and/or purify proteins and/or studies that include extensive protein characterization, which provide new, previously unpublished information.
