摘要
We report here the successful scale up of transient recombinant protein expression to litre scale using Semliki Forest Virus System. The expression of bacterial beta-galactosidase was initially compared in BHK and CHO cells and the conditions for optimal infection of BHK cells were identified. 10% FCS in a medium at pH 6.9 and infection in small volumes were found to be optimal. A high MOI results in an increased recombinant protein yield. Stirring does not affect the infection process. Finally we applied these optimal conditions to the production of a microsomal enzyme, human cyclooxygenase-2 in suspension spinners. Five independant productions at the 1 litre scale yielded reproducible substantial amounts of recombinant protein (16 mg microsomal protein 10(9) cells(-1)) with an average specific activity of 3942 +/- 765 pg PGE(2) mu g(-1) microsomal protein 5 min(-1).
