Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2031064A1] Increasing the titer of a cellular protein comprises modifying a nucleic acid coding for the protein by deleting the codon coding for the C-terminal amino acid, transfecting a cell with a vector containing the modified nucleic acid, and culturing the cell. Independent claims are also included for: (1) producing an expression vector for increased production of a protein by modifying a nucleic acid as above and inserting it into an expression vector; (2) producing a cell with an increased protein titer by treating a group of cells as above and performing single cell cloning; (3) producing a protein in a cell by treating a group of cells as above, selecting the cells in the presence of a selection pressure, optionally performing single cell cloning, and isolating the protein from the cells or their culture supernatant; (4) expression vector produced as above; (5) cell produced as above; (6) producing and purifying a protein with reduced heterogeneity by modifying a nucleic acid as above.
