A long non-coding SINEUP RNA boosts semi-stable production of fully human monoclonal antibodies in HEK293E cells

2018
ABSTRACTUse of monoclonal antibodiesis emerging as a highly promising and fast-developing scenario for innovative treatment of viral, autoimmune and tumour diseases. The search for diagnostic and therapeutic antibodies currently depends on in vitro screening approaches, such as phage and yeast displaytechnologies. Antibody production still represents a critical step for preclinical and clinical evaluations. Accordingly, improving production of monoclonal antibodiesrepresents an opportunity, to facilitate downstream target validations. SINEUP RNAs are long non-coding transcripts, possessing the ability to enhance translation of selected mRNAs. We applied SINEUP technology to semi-stable production of monoclonal antibodiesin HEK293E cells, which allows for episomal propagation of the expression vectors encoding the heavy and light chains of IgGs. Co-expression of SINEUP RNA with mRNAs encoding heavy and light chains of IgG4s was able to increase the production of different anti-CLDN1 antibodies up to th...
