Description succincte (Anglais)

Establishment of a robust GMP-ready technology platform for large-scale Transient Gene Expression for the manufacture of clinical grade protein pharmaceuticals.

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Anglais)

Manufacture of protein drugs by cultivated mammalian cells relies on the generation of stable lines made through a lengthy/costly procedure (months). By transient gene expression gram-amounts of recombinant protein can be made now in days*. In spite of this, transient gene expression (TGE) is not applied for manufacture of clinical products. The goal of this project is to establish (at least part of) the GMP knowledge basis and technology required to obtain eventual regulatory approval for use of TGE in manufacturing. * Baldi et al 2005, Stettler et al 2007, Wulhfard et al 2008, Backliwal et al 2008a, b.
