Abstract
We describe a method for polyethyleneimine (PEI)-mediated transient transfection of suspension-adapted Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-DG44) cells for protein expression applicable at scales from 2mL to 2L. The method involves transfection at a high cell density (5×106 cells/mL) by direct addition of plasmid DNA (pDNA) and PEI to the culture and subsequent incubation at 31°C with agitation by orbital shaking. This method requires 0.3mg/L of coding pDNA, 2.7mg/L of nonspecific (filler) DNA, and 15mg/L of PEI. The production phase is performed at 31°C in the presence of 0.25% N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA). If desired, the method can be modified to avoid use of DMA by increasing the amount of coding DNA. We also provide information on culture vessel options, recommended working volumes, and recommended shaking speeds for transfections at scales from 2mL to 2L.
