title: Mammalian cell protein expression for biopharmaceutical production.
abstract: Mammalian cell expression has become the dominant recombinant protein production system for clinical applications because of its capacity for post-translational modification and human protein-like molecular structure assembly. While expression and production have been fully developed and Chinese hamster ovary cells are used for the majority of products both on the market and in clinical development, significant progresses in developing and engineering new cell lines, introducing novel genetic mechanisms in expression, gene silencing, and gene targeting, have been reported in the last several years. With the latest analytical methods development, more attention is being devoted towards product quality including glycol profiling, which leads to better understanding the impact of culture condition during production. Additionally, transient gene expression technology platform plays more important role in biopharmaceutical early development stages. This review focused on the latest advancements in the field, especially in active areas such as expression systems, glycosylation impact factors, and transient gene expression.
