Recombinant Protein Expression in Yeast Cells

Similar to mammalian cells, yeast cells confer eukaryotic processing, folding, and post-translational modification. At the same time, a yeast expression system delivers high level expression. Bon Opus has established an efficient system for yeast cell recombinant protein expression, which includes the design of signal sequences, expression vectors, and a set of yeast strains (X33, GS115, KM71, and SMD1168). Our team incorporates the use of antibiotic gradients to screen for transformants with the highest numbers of inserts, and thus ensure a high expression level in the follow-up production phase.
