Evaluating the use of a CpG free promoter for long-term recombinant protein expression stability in Chinese hamster ovary cells.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Xenoantigens are a major source of concern with regard to the success of interspecific xenografts. GGTA1 encodes α1,3-galactosyltransferase, which is essential for the biosynthesis of galactosyl-alpha 1,3-galactose, the major xenoantigen causing hyperacute rejection. GGTA1-modified pigs, therefore, are promi...
