Application

EX-CELL CD CHO is a chemically defined, animal-component free, serum-free medium developed for the long-term growth of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells and expression of antibodies or protein products in suspension cell culture. CHO suspension cultures can be subcultured directly into EX-CELL CD CHO from serum-supplemented or serum-free medium with little or no adaptation. EX-CELL CD CHO is formulated without hypoxanthine, thymidine or L-glutamine, making it an appropriate medium for selection systems such as DHFR- and Glutamine Synthetase (GS System™). For applications that do not require the selective pressure of a hypoxanthine/thymidine (HT)-deficient medium, we recommend the use of EX-CELL CD CHO with hypoxanthine and thymidine (Catalog No. 14361C).

In the present study, we have identifi ed species-specifi c housekeeping genes (HKGs) for Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells using data from microarray gene expression profiling.

Mgat4 May Play a Role in Increased Sialylation by Overexpressing Functional MGAT1 in Mgat1-Disrupted Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) Cells

MGAT1 adds N-acetylglucosamine to the Man5GlcNAc2 (Man5) structure. Goh et al. reported increased sialylation after restoring MGAT1 function in MGAT1 deficient CHO cells.
