STEP OF THE PROCESS DESCRIPTION WHO TO CONTACT FOR INITIAL DISCUSSION

Expression vector design

Design of expression vector (plasmid) for use in protein expression below.

All, depending on expression host

     

Protein expression host:

   

Bacteria

Protein expression in various E. coli hosts

Tomas Nyman
Uwe Sauer
Mikael Lindberg

Yeast

Protein expression in the yeast Pichia pastoris

Kristina Hedfalk

Insect cells

Protein expression in Sf9 or HighFive insect cells using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS).

Wolfgang Knecht

Plant cells

Protein expression in plant cells by infection with Agrobacterium tumefaciens

Uwe Sauer
Mikael Lindberg

Mammalian cells

Protein expression in CHO or HEK293 cells or other cell lines

Malin Bäckström
Hanna Tegel

Cell free protein extracts

In Cell-free protein synthesis the translation machinery is isolated and protein synthesis is carried out from a plasmid template in vitro

Göran Karlsson

     

Purification

Protein purification using various chromatographic techniques as for example IMAC, IEX, SEC

All
     

Speciality - Gateway Modules:

 

 

(Per)deuteration

Biological (per)deuteration of proteins and development/feasibility studies for this purpose

Wolfgang Knecht

Molecular chaperones

Production of antibody fragments for co-crystallization purposes (can include production of the antigen)
