While DNA-mediated transient transfection of mammalian cells is a widely-used method for recombinant protein production, it is not clear as to what the optimal concentration of DNA should be. Using Nod-like receptors (NLRs) as a case study, a group of scientists demonstrated that 50-fold plasmid dilution increased the amount of soluble protein nearly 5-fold.

With its decade long leadership in mammalian cell expression technologies, GenScript provides world-class, transient and stable cell line development services for protein expression and assay development. With its proprietary MamPower? package, GenScript guarantees protein expression from your gene of interest in CHO or HEK293 cells.
