The Protein Expression
Center was established to provide researchers with large amounts of
proteins of interest to their work. It is equipped for small and
medium scale cultures of a variety of cells, including bacterial,
insect, and mammalian cell lines. We are currently specializing in
the use of the baculovirus expression system, a widely used and
versatile eukaryotic system which has been used to successfully
express thousands of proteins. Depending upon the level of
expression of a given protein, quantities ranging from hundreds of
micrograms to tens of milligrams may be readily produced using
resources at the facility. In addition, the Center is also equipped
to perform purification of expressed recombinant
proteins. |
