  • Patent number: 8476244
    Abstract: A method of producing a recombinant biological product, which method employs a mammalian producer cell culture, comprises the steps of generating a biomass of mammalian producer during an initial phase of cell culture, and causing an increase in a level of one or more of the miRNA molecules of Table 1 within the mammalian producer cells once a desired concentration of mammalian producer cells has been achieved. The method may also comprise the step of increasing a level of an inhibitor of one or more of the miRNA molecules of Table 1 within the mammalian producer cells at the start of or during an initial phase of culture.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 3, 2007
    Date of Patent: July 2, 2013
    Assignee: Dublin City University
    Inventors: Patrick Gammell, Niall Barron, Martin Clynes

  • Publication number: 20090186358
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for systematically identifying genes, proteins and/or related pathways that regulate or indicative of cell phenotypes. The present invention further provides methods for manipulating the identified genes, proteins and/or pathways to engineer improved cell lines and/or to evaluate or select cell lines with desirable phenotypes.
