Geneva, Switzerland (PRWEB) October 24, 2013 -- Selexis SA, a serial innovation company focused on drug discovery for lead identification and cell line development for scale-up and manufacturing of therapeutic protein drugs, announced today the Company’s president and CEO, Igor Fish, Ph.D., will present, “Selexis SURE CHO-Mplus™ Libraries: Custom Solutions for Improved Recombinant Protein Production” on Tuesday, November 5 at 4:45 PM at the BIO-Europe 2013 Partnering Conference being held November 4 – 6, at the Messe Wien Exhibition and Congress Center in Vienna, Austria. The Company will be also taking part in the pre-scheduled partnering meetings.

Presentation Abstract:
Stable, high-level production of recombinant proteins requires not only elevated transcription, but also cellular systems that can accommodate all of the protein folding, metabolic, secretory transport and post-translational processing requirements of any given protein. These requirements can vary significantly from protein to protein. Leveraging data from the completed SURE CHO-M Genome and Transciptome, Selexis has engineered the SURE CHO-Mplus libraries to address expression issues such as stalled translocation, improper folding, incomplete post-translational modifications, chromosomal instability or insufficient cellular respiration. With these libraries, Selexis has been able to significantly boost expression over broad range of proteins, including large multimeric structural proteins and and difficult to express proteins.
