Dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccines with the use of various antigen loading methods have been developed for cancer immunotherapy.
Read MoreLarge Volume Flow Electroporation of mRNA: Clinical Scale Process
Genetic modification for enhancing cellular function has been continuously pursued for fighting diseases. Messenger RNA (mRNA) transfection is found to be a promising solution in modifying hematopoietic and immune cells for therapeutic purpose. We have developed a flow electroporation-based system for large volume electroporation of cells with various molecules, including mRNA.

Choosing a host system for the expression of recombinant proteins should be carefully evaluated prior to the initiation of any biotherapetuic development programs.
Read MoreHigh Yield Transient and Stable Protein Production Using CHO Cell Line of Choice: From Transient Transfection to CHO Genome Modification and Cell Line Development
One aspect of lowering costs and reducing attrition rates during biotherapeutic development is the ability to work in the same host cell from early-stage discovery through biomanufacturing.
Read MoreHigh-level Production of Antibody Derivatives and Alternative Antibody Isotypes Using Scalable Cell Engineering
Antibody derivatives, such as bispecifics and Fc fragments, as well as alternative, non-IgG1 antibody isotypes represent promising classes of cancer immunotherapy. Their expression, however, can be challenging, complicating preclinical evaluation which can require significant amounts of recombinant protein.

The ExPERT STx electroporation technology is capable of high-performance delivery of virtually any molecule, into any cell, at any scale with the unique ability to transfect primary cells, stem cells and cell lines with minimal disturbance resulting in transfection efficiencies routinely ≥90%.
Read MoreExpression of chimeric antigen receptors in natural killer cells with a regulatory-compliant non-viral method
Natural killer (NK) cells hold promise for cancer therapy. NK cytotoxicity can be enhanced by expression of chimeric antigen receptors that re-direct specificity toward target cells by engaging cell surface molecules expressed on target cells. We developed a regulatory-compliant, scalable non-viral approach to engineer NK cells to be target-specific based on transfection of mRNA encoding chimeric receptors.
