Lentivirus infection: Lentivirus can infect suspension cells and primary cells.
Non-lentivirus infection: Electro-transfection and nuclear-transfection are utilized for lentivirus-sensitive cell lines
GenScript ProBio has successfully constructed more than 500 assay cell lines, of which more than 100 can be used for antibody development, such as PD-1, PD-L1, Tim3, CTLA4, Lag3, Siglec15 as well as GPCR cell lines.

A common problem when developing assay cell lines is that the protein expression level is relatively low but mRNA level is high. We tackled this problem by co-expressing suitable co-factor or chaperone proteins which had the potential improve the expression level by 1000 folds.
Targeting a specific protein isoform is challenging in antibody development due to high sequence identity between these isoforms. By generating assay cells expressing different protein isoforms, antibodies’ specificity can be validated using FACS binding assay. For instance, anti-Claudin 18.2 antibody screening was incorporated with a counter-screen against Claudin 18.1, which is ubiquitously expressed in normal tissue.
Anchoring secreted proteins on a cellular surface is a common way to enable antibody screening. One example is to construct an assay cell line expressing pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), which is usually secreted by macrophages.
