E.coli Cell-Free Expression System

E.coli Cell-Free Protein Synthesis System (CFPS) is a new protein preparation system that is different from traditional expression systems. It is a transcription/translation system based on extracts. By adding exogenous target mRNA or DNA templates, utilizing ribosomes, RNA polymerase, ATP and other substances in the cell extracts, and continuously adding some raw materials needed for protein synthesis such as amino acids, nucleotides, salt ions, etc., it synthesizes proteins in an extracellular environment without relying on living cells.

E.coli Cell-Free Expression System

  • No need for cell culture or transfection; efficient and convenient.

  • Reaction conditions are controllable, open and flexible.

  • Reaction system is easy to scale up, enabling large-scale preparation.

Yeast Expression Syste

The yeast expression system mainly uses Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia pastoris. Pichia pastoris is a rapidly developing and widely used eukaryotic expression system. It has two main advantages. On one hand, protein post-translational modifications can occur in yeast, which has a lower cost than mammalian expression systems. On the other hand, the heterologous proteins it expresses are first produced inside yeast cells and then secreted into the extracellular matrix through the yeast's secretion system, resulting in high-purity proteins that have undergone folding and modifications.

Yeast Expression Syste

  • Has the post-translational modification function of eukaryotic cells.

  • Fast growth rate and capable of high-density culture.

  • High level of protein expression, conducive to purification.

  • Can strictly regulate the expression of exogenous genes.

Mammalian Expression System

Mammalian cell expression systems can achieve correct protein folding and complex post-translational modifications, making the proteins expressed closer to natural proteins than those from other eukaryotic systems. This has been widely used in vaccine, antibody, and protein development. However, the yield of its transient expression system is relatively low, often requiring scale-up to obtain sufficient proteins, leading to increased cycle times and economic costs. We have a wealth of different series expression and proprietary vectors, which can stably and efficiently express sufficient quantities of recombinant proteins and antibodies.

Mammalian Expression System

  • Can achieve complex post-translational modifications such as glycosylation, resulting in higher biological activity.

  • High protein expression level, with solid control elements controlling protein expression.

  • Transient transfection allows rapid acquisition of a certain amount of secreted soluble protein.

Insect Expression System

The Baculovirus-Insect Cell Expression System is one of the eukaryotic expression systems. This system uses baculovirus-infected insect cells for the expression, purification, and large-scale production of recombinant proteins. Due to the large baculovirus genome and multiple restriction enzyme cut sites on its genome, it has strong plasticity in accommodating exogenous genes and advantages in expressing sizeable molecular weight proteins. By modifying the baculovirus to become a highly efficient recombinant viral vector for expressing target proteins, MedChemExpress (MCE) can provide you with expression development for Sf9 and Hi-5 insect cell lines.

Insect Expression System

  • High safety: the baculovirus expression vector has high species specificity.

  • Large gene capacity, capable of expressing large molecular weight proteins.

  • Strong operability and high level of exogenous gene expression.

  • Has similar post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation to mammalian cells, resulting in high biological activity.
