Expression vectors containing hot spot for increased recombinant protein expression in transfected cells

摘要

A specific locus (hot spot) for recombinant gene expression has been identified in the genome of Chinese hamster ovary cells. A DNA vector containing the hot spot causes high levels of recombinant gene expression following transfection and stable integration. The selection and cloning of the specific locus and the expression of recombinant genes is disclosed, as are the DNA vectors and the host cells.
