“The Horizon platform is fully integrable with Cytovance’s Cell Line Development technologies and aggressive timelines. The selection of transfected cells and cell line stability are enhanced by the use of a host deficient in Glutamine Synthetase and a vector expressing the GS gene,” said John Mott, Ph.D., senior advisor in Cell Line Development. “The resultant cell lines are capable of robust growth in Animal Component Free medium and express therapeutic proteins at competitive levels.”
