Oxford, United Kingdom /Konstanz, Germany, February 27, 2012 - Oxford Expressihnologies Ltd (OET) and Trenzyme GmbH, both experts in the field of recombinant protein expression have agreed to collaborate so that the full potential of their complementary technologies can be realized. Under terms of the collaboration, both companies will be able to offer a full range of recombinant protein expression services across a variety of platforms including baculovirus, yeast, bacterial and mammalian systems.
The collaboration offers exciting possibilities in the field of the rapidly developing BacMam system, in which baculoviruses are used for protein production in mammalian cell lines. The BacMam system increases the options available to improve both the yield and quality of recombinant proteins. It also has applications in therapeutic fields including the production of recombinant vaccines and gene delivery into human cells.
Furthermore, the BacMam system fits perfectly to the Cross Organism Expression platform of Trenzyme allowing the fast and reliable screening of the best expression host for a given target protein in respect of timelines, yield and quality.
Under the terms of the collaboration, customers of both companies will be able to access the complementary technologies.
Dr Richard Broadhead, Sales and Marketing Manager at OET commented, “At OET we always aim to maximize the potential of our flashBAC baculovirus expression system. The collaboration with Trenzyme will allow us to combine our patented technology with Trenzyme’s expression platform to expand the capabilities and applications of both. Working with Trenzyme will allow us to offer our customers additional options by working with a partner who is expert in other platforms for recombinant protein expression.”
Dr Reinhold Horlacher, managing director of Trenzyme commented, “We use our Cross Organism Expression platform to streamline expression projects with high demands on timeline, yield and protein quality – the simultaneous screening in up to four expression hosts using dozens of ready-to-use expression vectors will be significantly upvalued by embedding the BacMam system. We are happy to combine the innovative power of OET and Trenzyme to offer clients of both companies tailored solutions for recombinant protein expression”
