Cell
line development is a crucial step in the biopharmaceutical industry. Achieving
stable and efficient expression of target proteins is one of the key factors
for successful cell line development. Site-specific integration technology is
an important method in cell line development, and its importance is reflected
in the following aspects:
First,
it improves gene insertion stability. Random integration technology is a
classic method in cell line development, but its insertion site is unstable,
resulting in common problems such as fluctuation and loss of gene expression.
Using site-specific integration technology can accurately integrate exogenous
genes into specific positions on the target cell chromosome, ensuring the
stability of gene expression and greatly reducing the uncertainty in the
process of cell line development.
Second,
it reduces gene toxicity reactions. Random integration technology may cause
exogenous genes to be inserted into the promoter or transcription factor
region, leading to toxic reactions. Site-specific integration technology can
avoid this problem, not only ensuring the stability of gene expression, but
also reducing the risk of gene toxicity reactions.
Third,
it improves gene expression efficiency. Using site-specific integration
technology, high-expression cell lines of target proteins can be quickly
obtained by screening clones integrated into the target site, thereby improving
gene expression efficiency. Efficient gene expression is critical to produce
high-quality biologics, especially for biopharmaceuticals that require
large-scale production.
Fourth,
it reduces production costs. Site-specific integration technology can precisely
regulate the expression level of the target gene, thereby better controlling
the production process and product quality. This reduces unnecessary waste and
repetitive work, and also increases production efficiency, reducing production
costs.
Fifth,
it improves product quality. Site-specific integration technology can precisely
control the expression level and quality of the target gene, playing a key role
in producing high-quality biologics. For example, targeting the instability and
cleavage of single elements, reducing impurity levels, and ensuring the
stability and consistency of product quality. It also provides more options for
biopharmaceutical companies, enabling them to better meet market and customer
needs.
In
summary, using site-specific integration technology in cell line development
has significant advantages, including improving gene insertion stability,
reducing gene toxicity reactions, improving gene expression efficiency,
reducing production costs, and improving product quality. These advantages make
site-specific integration technology an irreplaceable important technology in
the biopharmaceutical industry.
