Development of a high cell density transient CHO platform yielding mAb titers greater than 2 g/L in only 7 days.

We developed a simple transient Chinese Hamster Ovary expression platform. Titers for a random panel of 20 clinical monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) ranged from 0.6 to 2.

Generation of High Expressing Chinese Hamster Ovary Cell Pools Using the Leap-In Transposon System.

Clonally derived cell lines (CDCL) from Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) host cell lines, remain the most popular method to manufacture therapeutic proteins. However, CHO cell pools are increasingly being used as an alternate method to produce therapeutic proteins for preclinical drug development in an effort to shorten the time required for new drug development. It is essential that these CHO pools exhibit the desired attributes of CHO CDCLs such as high protein titers and consistent product quality attributes (PQAs).

Survival and echocardiographic data in dogs with congestive heart failure caused by mitral valve disease and treated by multiple drugs: a retrospective study of 21 cases.

This retrospective study reports the survival time [onset of congestive heart failure (CHF) to death from any cause] of 21 dogs with mitral regurgitation (MR) and CHF treated with a combination of furosemide, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI, benazepril, or enalapril), pimobendan, spironolactone, and amlodipine. Baseline echocardiographic data: end-systolic and end-diastolic volume indices (ESVI and EDVI), left atrium to aorta ratio (LA/Ao), and regurgitant fraction (RF) are reported. Median survival time (MST) was 430 d.
