Week 4: DNA Cloning and Cell Line Development

This week, we will review the following subjects

DNA Cloning Techniques

  • Restriction enzyme digestion and ligation.
  • Transformation methods: Chemical and electroporation.
  • Selection markers and screening methods.

Cell Line Development

  • Establishment of bacterial and mammalian cell lines.
  • Transfection and selection of stable cell lines.
  • Cell line characterization and authentication.

GMP Considerations

  • Importance of cell line stability and consistency.
  • Documentation and traceability requirements.
  • Regulatory guidelines for cell line development

Laboratory Work: Real-World Application

  • Example: Development of CHO cell lines for biopharmaceutical production
