This detailed new edition explores the use of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in the production of therapeutic protein products. Beyond updates on earlier methodologies, the book also delves into the genetic manipulation of CHO cells for recombinant protein production, analysis of CHO cells using proteomic and metabolomic approaches, as well as methods for the characterization of recombinant protein products, such as glycosylation and host cell protein analysis. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and up-to-date, Heterologous Protein Production in CHO Cells: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition is an ideal guide for researchers working to enhance and accelerate CHO productive capabilities in the coming decades.
