Our Specialty: Recombinant Proteins for Antigens/Immunizations

We can do simple E. Coli protein expressions with what seems to be the lowest cost on the market. However, we also offer a comprehensive suite of proteins expression services using various expression systems: E. Coli, insect, yeast and mammalian. Downstream services are available as well—purification, desalting, lyophilization, packaging and labeling.

Fast turnaround

2-week rapid expression (after gene synthesis)

Solubility expert

Proprietary technology for maximizing solubility

Cost efficiency

Economy of scale lowers cost

Comprehensive services:

Purification, desalting, tag cleaving, the whole shebang

Our codon optimization

We developed our own expression optimization algorithm. Compared to similar algorithms, ours emphasizes more on using optimal codons, which may cause difficulties in gene synthesis (shifting risks upstream). This results in better expression success and solubility than if you were to use conventional plasmid/gene optimization software.

Recombinant Protein Production Steps

Free consultation (optional)

We learn about your project and design the best strategy to serve your unique requirements.
In silico prediction (optional)

In case you need more than e. Coli expression, we take your requirements and run it through our AI-powered algorithm, which learns from our past expressions and predict the best expression conditions for your protein sequence.
Pilot expression: gene synthesis

Our gene synthesis partner makes the DNA. Takes 1-2 weeks typically.
Pilot Expression: small scale (Pilot) expression

We express your protein in a small scale to optimize expression conditions. We have proprietary techniques to improve solubility. The purified proteins are sent to you as deliverable. This usually takes 2 weeks for E. coli and longer for more complex expression systems, and for some hard to express proteins it requires multiple iterations to arrive at the optimal conditions. Our experts will work closely with you to resolve any issues.
strategy optimization (Scaling Up)

If you need to scale up production, we will create a custom strategy based on the optimal conditions we identified in the pilot expression.
Scale up production (Scaling Up)

Our bioreactors stand ready to scale up production for you. We can be your protein production partner and produce your protein in grams levels or even more.

Why Choose Boster For Recombinant Protein Production?

High-efficiency custom protein production for all your needs.

Established in 1993, Boster Bio offers one of the most efficient recombinant protein services—we are one of the biggest antibody companies who use recombinant immunogen to create antibodies. We express 3000+ recombinant proteins each year for our antibody immunization. This has polished every aspect of our recombinant protein production process from negotiating the lowest possible gene synthesis cost to resolving tricky solubility issues.

FAQs

Q1. Can you purify the proteins after Protein Expression ?

Yes we provide full service protein expression, including all common downstream services such as purification and desalting, and also serve manufacturing needs such as lyophilization, packaging and labeling.

Q2. how do I place an order for Recombinant Protein Production ?

I am assuming you are asking how to work with us. In that case, to get started you can tell us the protein sequence you want to express, along with any special requests you might have. We will make a quote for you with which you can place purchase order. Once we receive your purchase order, we will optimize the codons for you and take it from there. The detailed milestones can be found in the above section "RECOMBINANT PROTEIN PRODUCTION STEPS".

Q3. Can You Express Proteins With Post-Translational Modifications ?

Yes we can. It will have to be one of the advanced expression package with eukaryotic expression systems (yeast, baculovirus insect cell expression system or mammalian expression systems). Also not all PTMs can be achieved, we need to know more details about your PTM of interest.

Q4. can i provide my own expression vector ?

Yes as long as it is not under patent/IP protection, or if you can extend your license to us. If there are no legal limitations, technically we can accomodate most expression vectors.
