Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a cell line screening method, and specifically to a site-specific integration cell line screening method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Random integration is the most established traditional method for constructing protein expression systems. After entering the cell nucleus, the target gene integrates into the chromosome at random locations. However, cell lines derived from random integration suffer from the problem of poor stability of the resulting clones. Site-directed integration involves precisely inserting a foreign gene into a specific location in the host genome. However, current cell lines derived from site-directed integration still rely on random integration to select single clones. While this method improves stability compared to random integration, the overall process remains cumbersome, time-consuming, and costly.
[0003] Traditional screening of high-expressing monoclonal cell lines is usually performed in the following two ways:
[0004] The first method is to introduce the target gene expression vector into the cells by electroporation, and then divide the cells into a large number of cell pools with the same cell density, that is, to construct minipools. The minipools are then pressure-screened through the resistance to the selection marker on the target gene expression vector, and the minipools with high expression of the target gene are screened for monocloning, and the final high-yield stable monoclonal cell line is found from multiple minipools. This process generally takes about 12 to 14 weeks from electroporation to monoclonal RCB freezing and evaluation. Its advantages are stable monoclonal results and a relatively mature process. Its disadvantages are long screening time, high consumption of consumables and materials, and large manpower and material resources, resulting in high costs.
[0005] The second method is to introduce the target gene expression vector into the cells by electroporation, pressure-screen all the electroporated cells, and then culture the cells after pressure screening until the cell viability recovers to 90%, and clone the cell pool with recovered cell viability. This process from electroporation to monoclonal RCB freezing and evaluation generally takes about 10-12 weeks. Compared with the first process, the advantage is that the process time is shortened and the operation is simpler; the disadvantage is that the throughput used for screening becomes larger, and hundreds of 96-well plates and thousands of monoclonal cells need to be screened, so the overall cost does not decrease; and the different monoclonal cell lines obtained in the end are very different, and a large number of monoclonal cells need to be evaluated to obtain a good and usable monoclonal cell line, which is costly.
[0006] In summary, there is a need for a monoclonal cell line screening method that can save time, is simpler to operate, low-cost, and has more stable results to accelerate the screening of high-expressing monoclonal cell lines obtained through site-directed integration.
[0007] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0050] As used herein, a "target gene vector" refers to a vector that contains and can carry a target gene into a first cell. A vector is a nucleic acid delivery vehicle for inserting a polynucleotide. A vector can be introduced into a host cell through transformation, transduction, or transfection, allowing the genetic material it carries to be expressed in the host cell.
[0051] The vectors are well known to those skilled in the art, and include but are not limited to: plasmids; phagemids; cosmids; artificial chromosomes, such as yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs), bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), or P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PACs); bacteriophages such as lambda phage or M13 phage, and animal viruses. Animal viruses that can be used as vectors include, but are not limited to, retroviruses (including lentiviruses), adenoviruses, adeno-associated viruses, herpes viruses (such as herpes simplex viruses), poxviruses, baculoviruses, papillomaviruses, and papillomaviruses. In some embodiments, the vectors of the present invention contain regulatory elements commonly used in genetic engineering, such as enhancers, promoters, internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs), integration sites for enzymes with integration effects, and other expression control elements (such as transcription termination signals, or polyadenylation signals and poly-U sequences, etc.).
[0052] In a first aspect, a method for screening a site-directed integration cell line is provided, the screening method comprising steps S1 and S2:
[0053] S1. Integrate the target gene into the genetic material of the first cell to form a first candidate cell population.
[0054] The genetic material of the first cell contains and expresses a fluorescent marker gene; the target gene does not contain the fluorescent marker gene. When the target gene is site-specifically integrated into the genetic material of the first cell, the fluorescent marker gene of the first cell is removed. The genetic material includes endogenous or exogenous genetic material of the first cell. Endogenous genetic material can include the genome of the first cell; exogenous genetic material can include a vector stably expressed in the first cell and integrated with the fluorescent marker gene.
[0055] In an optional embodiment, the target gene encodes one or more of, but is not limited to, antibodies, enzymes, hormones, growth factors, and receptors.
[0056] In an optional embodiment, the protein or polypeptide encoded by the target gene can be a natural protein or polypeptide; or a recombinant protein or polypeptide.
[0057] In an optional embodiment, the fluorescent marker gene includes but is not limited to one or more of GFP protein gene, EGFP protein gene, DsRed protein gene, and mCherry protein gene, preferably EGFP protein gene.
[0058] S2. Cells that do not express the fluorescent marker gene are sorted and prepared into monoclonal cells, and the monoclonal cells are cultured; the monoclonal cultured cells are then sorted according to the expression level of the target gene-encoded protein, and cells whose expression level of the target gene-encoded protein does not exceed a first threshold are selected as the selected fixed-site integrated cell line. The sorting can be performed using any conventional method or device known in the art that can achieve optical analysis and separation of single cells, such as, but not limited to, flow cytometry or a single-cell printer, such as a Namocell, a Cell printer, or a Beacon.
[0059] In an optional embodiment, the target gene is carried by a target gene vector, and the target gene vector contains the target gene; the target gene vector does not contain the fluorescent marker gene, that is, except for the target gene, the rest of the target gene vector does not contain the fluorescent marker gene in the first cell genetic material.
[0060] In an optional embodiment, the target gene or the target gene vector expresses a fluorescent molecule that is different from the genetic material of the first cell. For example, the target gene or the target gene vector expresses mCherry protein, and the first cell expresses EGFP protein, then it expresses red fluorescence. Cells that do not express green fluorescence are positive cells sorted in step S2.
[0061] In an optional embodiment, to further facilitate differentiation, the target gene and the target gene vector do not express a fluorescent molecule. When the target gene is integrated into the genetic material of the first cell and the first cell does not express fluorescence, it indicates that the target gene has been site-specifically integrated into the target location. Therefore, sorting cells that do not express the fluorescent marker gene in step S2 is sorting cells that do not express fluorescence.
[0062] In an optional embodiment, flow cytometry is used for sorting, and the flow cytometry sorting conditions include sorting non-fluorescent cells using a single-cell screening mode of a FACS instrument. Taking the fluorescent marker gene encoding green fluorescent protein as an example, exemplary conditions for sorting cells that do not express fluorescence using flow cytometry include: first, in the single-cell screening mode of FACS, cells in good cell condition are screened out by drawing gates using side scattered light (SSC) and forward scattered light (FSC), and then single cells are screened out by drawing gates using a combination of any two parameters among FSC-A, FSC-H, and FSC-W, or a combination of any two parameters among SSC-A, SSC-H, and SSC-W, and finally, single cells are excited with a 488nm laser to produce green fluorescence, and then the fluorescence intensity in the FITC channel is detected, thereby selecting single non-fluorescent positive cells for sorting.
[0063] In an optional implementation, the first threshold is ≤36, for example, it may be but is not limited to less than or equal to 36, 35, 30, 25, 20, 15 or 10.
[0064] In an optional embodiment, in step S2, cells ranked in the top 36 in terms of expression level of target gene-encoded protein are selected as the site-directed integration cell lines.
[0065] In an optional embodiment, the genetic material of the first cell further contains a screening marker gene, and the screening method further includes subjecting the first candidate cell population to pressure screening after step S1, culturing until the viability of the cells in the first candidate cell population reaches a second threshold, and then performing step S2; the conditions for the pressure screening include inhibiting the growth of cells that do not express the screening marker gene, and the inhibition of cell growth includes but is not limited to death, apoptosis, pyroptosis and / or failure of cells that do not express the screening marker gene to proliferate and produce the next generation of cells.
[0066] In an alternative embodiment, the selection marker gene encodes a protein that confers resistance to hygromycin B, zeocin or puromycin.
[0067] In an optional embodiment, the selection marker gene encodes a protein that is resistant to hygromycin B, and the pressure selection comprises culturing the first candidate cell population under conditions where the concentration of hygromycin B is 250 μg / ml.
[0068] In an optional embodiment, the pressure screening includes screening and culturing the first candidate cell population with 250 μg / ml hygromycin B for 2 days, and after removing the hygromycin B pressure, culturing with normal subculture medium for 3 days.
[0069] In an optional implementation, the second threshold is ≥5%, for example, it may be but is not limited to greater than or equal to 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9% or 10%.
[0070] In an optional embodiment, the first candidate cell population is subjected to pressure screening and cultured until the viability of cells in the first candidate cell population reaches more than 5%.
[0071] In an optional embodiment, the site-specific integration includes using a gene editing system or an integrase system for site-specific integration.
[0072] Exemplary gene editing systems include, but are not limited to, zinc-finger nuclease systems (ZFNs), transcription activator-like effector nuclease systems (TALENs), and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat sequences (CRISPR).
[0073] The integrase system incorporates the target gene into the genetic material of the first cell by integration, recombination or reverse transcription. Exemplary enzymes in the integrase system that have integration, recombination or reverse transcription functions include but are not limited to Cre, Dre, Vika, Bxb1, RDF, FLP, TP901-1、A118、 MR11、TG1、 Wβ, BL3, SPBc, K38, Peaches, Veracruz, Rebcuca, Theia, Benedict, KSSJEB, PattyP, Doom, Scowl, Lockley, Switzer, Bob3, Troube, Abrogate, Anglerfish, Sarfire, SkiPole, ConceptII, Museum, Severus, Airmid, Hinder, ICleared, Sheen, Mundrea, BxZ2 or or mutants of any of them.

[0093] In some specific embodiments, the process of an exemplary site-directed integration cell line screening method is summarized as follows:
[0094] 1. Use electroporation to integrate the target gene into the CHO-K1 specific site NW_003616785.1:83044 with attp and attp GA using Bxb1 recombinase, and replace the green fluorescent marker gene at this site.
[0095] 2. After electroporation, the cells were cultured in subculture medium for 2 days and then subjected to brief pressure screening using 250 μg / mL hygromycin B. The pressure was maintained for 2 days, and then the antibiotic pressure was removed and the cells were cultured in normal subculture medium for 3 days.
[0096] 3. Use a FACS instrument to sort the cells obtained in the previous step. In the single-cell screening mode of FACS, first screen out cells in good cell condition by drawing gates for side scattered light (SSC) and forward scattered light (FSC). The gate range for cells in good cell condition can be obtained by analyzing CHO-K1 cells with a viability greater than 95% under the same voltage conditions. In the SSC-A and FSC-A graphs of CHO-K1 cells with a viability greater than 95%, select the population with a proportion greater than 80% in the image by observing the dot plot. Then, draw different areas for these populations for monoclonal sorting. Compare the survival rate and status of the monoclonal cells after sorting to screen out cells in good cell condition in both SSC and FSC channels. Single cells were then screened by gating on any two combinations of FSC-A, FSC-H, and FSC-W, or any two combinations of SSC-A, SSC-H, and SSC-W. Finally, single cells were excited with a 488nm laser to produce green fluorescence, and the fluorescence intensity in the FITC channel was measured. Single, non-fluorescent positive cells were then sorted into 96-well plates to create monoclonal cells.
[0097] 4. Monoclonal cells are photographed on D0, D1, D2, D3, D7, and D14 (D represents the number of days the monoclonal cells have been cultured) using a VIPS single-cell plating instrument or other monoclonal imaging system. The monoclonal origin is confirmed by observing the continuous growth process of the cells in the photos. After expression screening and expansion, a high-yield monoclonal cell line can be obtained.

After 2 days of pressurization, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes at room temperature and discard the supernatant. Switch to passage medium and culture for 3 days until the cell viability recovers to above 5%.
[0115] (10) The cells obtained in the previous step were analyzed using a FACS Melody produced by Becton TM Sorting was performed using the BD Biosciences Melody cell sorter, with the sorting parameters set to Single cell and Flow rate = 1. Non-fluorescent positive cells were sorted into 96-well plates and cultured with cloning medium to complete monoclonal isolation. The specific sorting process is as follows: First, cells in good cell condition are screened by gating on side scattered light (SSC) and forward scattered light (FSC). The gating range for cells in good cell condition can be determined by analyzing CHO-K1 cells with a viability greater than 95% under the same voltage conditions. In the SSC-A and FSC-A graphs of CHO-K1 cells with a viability greater than 95%, the dot plots are used to select populations with a proportion greater than 80% of the image. These populations are then divided into different areas for monoclonal isolation. The survival rate and status of the sorted monoclones are compared to screen out cells in good cell condition based on the performance of the SSC and FSC channels. Single cells were then screened out by drawing gates based on any two combinations of FSC-A, FSC-H, and FSC-W, or any two combinations of SSC-A, SSC-H, and SSC-W. Finally, single cells were excited with a 488nm laser to produce green fluorescence, and the fluorescence intensity in the FITC channel was detected. Thus, single non-fluorescent positive cells were selected and sorted into 96-well plates to make monoclonal cells.
[0116] (11) After 14 days of culture, 40 μL of supernatant was taken from the monoclonal cells that were confirmed to be non-fluorescent under a microscope and the expression level was detected using Elisa or Octet. The top 36 monoclonal cell lines with the highest expression levels were selected and expanded in the expansion medium to form monoclonal cell lines;
[0117] (12) After the monoclonal cell line was expanded to 6 wells, the cells recovered to a cell viability greater than 90% and a viable cell density greater than 1×10 6 cells / mL, the cells were plated at 5×10 5 cells / mL for 6-well batch culture with 2.2 mL of culture medium per well; at the same time, the remaining cells were subcultured in 6-well plates;
[0118] (13) After culturing the cells in the 6-well batch culture for 7 days, the supernatant was collected for expression evaluation, and the top 5 monoclonal cell lines with the highest expression were selected and expanded to shake flasks;
[0119] (14) The monoclonal cell line was cultured in a shake flask stage by fed-batch culture (Advance + 1% Glutamax, i.e., fed-batch culture medium, for the first three days). 3% (v / v) Cell Boost 7a and 0.3% (v / v) Cell Boost 7b (cytiva) were added simultaneously on days 3 and 5. 5% (v / v) Cell Boost 7a and 0.5% (v / v) Cell Boost7b (cytiva) were added simultaneously on days 7, 9, 11, and 13.

[0132] (1) Bulkpool process The previous process is the same as the process (1) to (8) of this embodiment 1;
[0133] (2) After 48 hours of electroporation, the cell culture medium was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, the supernatant was removed, and the cells were resuspended in 2 mL of pressurized medium. The cells were subjected to pressurized screening. After adding antibiotics, the cell growth was checked every 3 to 4 days and the supernatant was centrifuged and discarded. The cells were resuspended in new pressurized medium until the cell viability recovered to 90%;
[0134] (3) The culture is then expanded to a shake flask and subcultured until the cell viability is greater than 95% and the doubling time is less than 24 h. The cell pool is then cloned using a monoclonal sorting instrument or limiting dilution method.
[0135] (4) After 14 days of culture, 40 μL of supernatant was taken from the monoclonal cells that were confirmed to be non-fluorescent under a microscope and the expression level was detected using Elisa or Octet.

[0138] (7) The monoclonal cell line was cultured in a shake flask stage by fed-batch culture (Advance + 1% Glutamax, i.e., fed-batch culture medium, for the first three days). 3% (v / v) Cell Boost 7a and 0.3% (v / v) Cell Boost 7b (cytiva) were added simultaneously on days 3 and 5. 5% (v / v) Cell Boost 7a and 0.5% (v / v) Cell Boost7b (cytiva) were added simultaneously on days 7, 9, 11, and 13.

[0139] Effect Example 1
[0140] (1) Expression level evaluation: The expression levels of the monoclonal clones of the process of Example 1, the monoclonal clones (random minipool) of the minipool process of Comparative Example 1, and the bulkpool process of Comparative Example 2 were compared. Figure 4 , Figure 4 The results show that the expression level of target gene 1 in Example 1 can reach 1248 mg / L, and the expression level of target gene 2 can reach 5504 mg / L; the expression level of target gene 1 in minipool (Comparative Example 1) can reach 1226 mg / L, and the expression level of target gene 2 can reach 5416 mg / L; the expression level of target gene 1 in bulkpool (Comparative Example 2) can reach 755 mg / L, and the expression level of target gene 2 can reach 3122 mg / L. It can be seen that the expression levels of target genes 1 and 2 in the cell lines screened by the process of Example 1 are higher than those in the cell lines screened by the processes of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, especially significantly higher than those screened by bulkpool.
[0141] (2) Time evaluation: The comparison results of the time used in the process of Example 1, the time used in the minipool process, and the time used in the bulkpool process are shown in Figure 5 . Figure 5The results show that the process of Example 1 only takes 36 days; the minipool (Comparative Example 1) process takes 78 days to screen cell lines with site-directed integration of target gene 1, and 82 days to screen cell lines with site-directed integration of target gene 2; the bulkpool (Comparative Example 2) process takes 63 days to screen cell lines with site-directed integration of target gene 1, and 66 days to screen cell lines with site-directed integration of target gene 2. It can be seen that the time required for the process of Example 1 is significantly less than that required for the processes of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, saving about half the screening time.
[0142] (3) Cost Assessment: The costs of the Example 1 process were compared with those of the minipool process and the bulkpool process. The statistical categories included experimental reagents and consumables, depreciation of experimental equipment (calculated at 10% annual depreciation based on the equipment's useful life), experimental personnel costs, and experimental time costs. The results showed that the cost of the Example 1 method was approximately 60% of the cost of the minipool process (Comparative Example 1) and approximately 69% of the cost of the bulkpool process (Comparative Example 2).
[0143] In summary, the method provided in Example 1 significantly improves the expression of the target gene compared to the bulkpool method (Comparative Example 2), while also saving a lot of time and cost. Compared to the minipool method (Comparative Example 1), the method provided in Example 1 can achieve the gene expression level of the minipool method, but the required time and cost are significantly reduced.
[0144] The preparation of the stable high-fluorescence cells GBB003 used in the above examples and comparative examples mainly includes the following steps:
[0145] (1) The green fluorescent protein gene (EGFP) was used as a marker gene for screening, and the attP sequence was used as a homology arm to construct a recombinant plasmid containing RMCE. After linearizing the constructed plasmid, the linear DNA was purified and recovered. CHO K1 cells were taken, centrifuged, and the supernatant was discarded. The cells were resuspended in 100 μL of R Buffer, a resuspension buffer specifically for cell electroporation, and electroporated three times.
[0146] (2) Pressurization: the pressurization reagent is G418, the pressurization concentration is 800 μg / ml, and the cells are divided into minipools (i.e., 96-well plates) for culture.
[0147] (3) Check the plate after ten days. When a large number of fluorescent cell clusters are observed, they can be enriched. The one-well-to-one-well principle should be followed during enrichment.
[0148] (4) Observe the growth of enriched cells at any time and expand them when the coverage rate reaches more than 50%.
[0149] (5) After expansion to a shake flask, the cells were passaged three times to form a stable cell pool. The formation of monoclonal cells and screening of stable fluorescence were achieved through artificial intelligence. The specific steps are shown in ah.
[0150] a) The cells in the stable cell pool are diluted to a certain concentration and then inoculated into a culture dish containing a semi-solid culture medium. During the inoculation process, the cells are ensured to be approximately evenly distributed in all positions of the culture dish. The cells are allowed to stand for about half an hour to allow the cells to settle to the bottom of the culture dish.
[0151] b) The culture dish is transferred to the electron microscope stage, and the electron microscope performs high-throughput scanning on the cells in the culture dish;
[0152] c) The electron microscope scanned image is uploaded to the server for artificial intelligence image analysis. The analysis process includes monoclonal cell line detection, protein expression level prediction of monoclonal cell lines, protein expression level ranking, and coding and localization of screened high-protein expressing cell lines; the protein expression level prediction of the monoclonal cell line can be based on fluorescence or not. The following step c is the protein expression level prediction not based on fluorescence.
[0153] Step c is based on the detection of monoclonal cell line targets using image processing technology. In this embodiment, the target detection algorithm of YOLOv8 is adopted, and the actual detection effect reaches mAP 94.2%. The target detection model for monoclonal cell lines in step c is consistent with the commonly used deep learning target detection model, so it is not described in detail. Specifically, the cell image needs to be annotated first. In order to improve the prediction accuracy of the algorithm, the bounding boxes of all monoclonal cell lines and adhesion cell lines will be marked and used as the real target bounding box (ground truth) for the loss calculation of the model output. After algorithm training, the model learns the ability to extract the border information of monoclonal cell lines. In the actual application scenario step c, the trained model can predict the border of the monoclonal cell line in the image.
[0154] Step c predicts the fluorescent protein expression level based on monoclonal cell images. In this example, the SqueezeNet deep learning network and the MSE loss function are used. Since the predicted protein expression levels in this project are ranked, the ranking result is the ultimate goal of the algorithm, so the NDCG evaluation standard of the ranking algorithm is used here. The specific calculation formula is as follows:
[0155]
[0156]
[0157] Where IDCG = best-ranked DCG. Specifically in this example, cell imaging predicted expression levels, sorted by predicted expression levels, and compared with the actual fluorescence value sorting results, NDCG = 0.89. The expression level prediction model in this example is described in detail in CN112037862B (application number CN202311058132.5, invention title "A Cell Transfer Method and Cell Transfer System").
[0158] d) The coding and location information of the screened protein high-expressing cell lines are returned to the robot control software;
[0159] The cell codes and positions returned in step d, in this embodiment, return the top 100 cells in terms of predicted expression levels, with the codes ranging from 1 to 100. The position information includes the coordinates in the plane coordinate system relative to the center of the microscope (the depth of the culture medium is not considered for the time being, because all the cells to be selected are deposited to the bottom of the culture dish. In addition, during the photography process, cells that have not settled to the bottom of the culture dish will be out of focus, resulting in blurred cells, and cells with blurred images will also be excluded).
[0160] e) The robot control software automatically operates (or manually assists) the robotic arm to aspirate the screened monoclonal cell lines and transfer them to the designated well plate. This process is repeated until all high-expressing cell lines are transferred. For the suction and transfer process, refer to CN113821287B (application number: CN202111040555.5, invention name “Robot-based cell manipulation task processing method, device, equipment and medium”), CN113403431B (application number: CN202110735660.4, invention name “Robot-based cell liquid collection control method, device, equipment and storage medium”), CN113771030A (application number: CN202111040562.5, invention name “Cell manipulation robot control method, device, equipment and storage medium”), CN113733087B (application number: CN202111039293.0, invention name “Cell manipulation robot control information configuration method, device, equipment and medium”).
[0161] f) After the cell clones in the well plate are cultured to a certain number, they are transferred to a larger well plate for culture, and finally expanded to shake flask culture, and the cell expression level is detected to determine whether the cell line selected by artificial intelligence is a high-yield cell line; step f) in this embodiment is to transfer to a 96-well plate for amplification culture, and then transfer to shake flask culture.
[0162] g) The selected high-yield cell lines are subcultured. Before each generation of cell lines is subcultured, a portion of the sample is diluted and placed in a culture dish, and images are taken using an electron microscope. Images of the cell lines are taken continuously for several generations. Currently, the expression of the selected cells can be predicted by the model learned from the cell morphology using photography, and the expression of the selected cells can also be predicted by fluorescent labeling.
[0163] Step g) Photographing Monoclonal Cells In this example, a Thermo Fisher Scientific M7000 electron microscope was used to photograph the cells.
[0164] h) The collected images of several generations of cell lines are input into an artificial intelligence algorithm to predict the cell line's transgenerational stability based on fluorescence intensity and / or protein expression, and cell lines with high protein expression characteristics that can be stably transgenerated are selected as the final candidate cell lines; the prediction of the cell line's transgenerational stability can be based on fluorescence or on cell morphology rather than fluorescence. The following h) step is the prediction of protein expression based on cell morphology rather than fluorescence.
[0165] Step h) predicting the cell line stability, including but not limited to traditional image recognition algorithms using histograms to extract image features and make predictions, using deep learning neural networks to automatically extract image features and make predictions, and other image-based technical predictions. In this embodiment, a deep learning-based method is used to automatically extract image features of stable cell lines and unstable cell lines and predict their stability, with an accuracy rate of 84% for predictions of different cell lines. See CN114417582A (application number: CN202210010493.1, invention name "Cell line stability prediction method, device, computer equipment and storage medium")
[0166] Wherein, step d) and step e) can be completed manually or automatically by a robot arm. In this embodiment, they are completed automatically by a robot arm.
[0167] (6) CHO-K1 cells were used as control and the seeding density was 5×10 5 cells / ml, inoculate 30 ml of the system, count the cells on the day of inoculation, culture day 3, culture day 5, culture day 7, culture day 9, culture day 11, culture day 13, and culture day 14, and screen out monoclones with a growth rate lower than that of CHO-K1.
[0168] (7) Recover the remaining monoclonal clones and perform stable subculture after recovery. Subculture should be performed every 3 or 4 days. The cell density of the 4-day subculture is 3×10 5 cells / ml, and the cell density after 3 days was 5×10 5cells / ml, and the fluorescence of the cell line was regularly monitored during subculture. The stability of the high-fluorescence cell line was studied for approximately 90 days using the subculture medium. GBB003 cells, which exhibited minimal fluorescence fluctuations and stable cell line growth, were confirmed to be stable high-fluorescence cells. NGS sequencing of the integration site of this cell line revealed the highly expressed fragment sequence located at the integration site as SEQ ID No. 1. Specifically, the annotation information for the integration site on the CHO gene is: NW_003616785.1:83044.
