Abstract

Detection of expression of recombinant genes in transfected cells can be combined with cell cloning to achieve pure cell populations secreting high levels of heterologous protein. The combination of cloning and selection speeds up the generation of permanent cell lines, increases the number of potential insertion events that can be screened, and reduces the tedium of sequentially cloning then analyzing the production levels of each clone.
