Group Leader Cell- & Molecular Biology

We provide you with customized cell lines expressing your target gene of choice, to support target and biomarker screening in industry and academia. So far, we have generated:

  • 250 cDNA expression vectors,
  • 850 stable recombinant cell lines for the expression of
  • 200 targets, using
  • 150 maternal cell lines or primary cells.
  • Numerous CRISPR-edited cell lines.

 

Target validation

  • Cloning your gene of interest into a suitable expression vector
  • Selection of promoters of different strengths
  • Lentiviral transduction of a cell line / primary cell type of your choice
  • Selection of stable recombinant cell lines (polyclonal or monoclonal), validated by gene expression analysis at the mRNA / protein level
  • Characterisation with respect to target protein localisation by immunofluorescence microscopy or FACS analysis
  • Full range of functional characterisations (e.g. cell proliferation, induction of apoptosis, metabolism; please inquire for further assays)

 

High-content analysis of cellular phenotypes

  • Combine the Chromobody® technology with your gene of interest!
  • Double expression of your target gene and of an indicative Chromobody® in a single cell line
  • High-content analysis for monitoring cell cycle progression, nuclear morphology, cytoskeletal integrity
