Cell Line Development
20+ years of experience in mammalian and microbial cell line development
Biologics Process Development
AGC Biologics has extensive experience developing mammalian and microbial production cell lines. This experience, combined with our advanced analytical capabilities, enables us to identify and select clones that meet your product’s specific parameters and characteristics. After selecting the most appropriate clones, we optimize production conditions to develop a high-productivity cell line, tailored to your specific product quality targets and target production level, designed for robust, scalable manufacturing.

The AGC Biologics CHEF1 Expression Platform
This proprietary, robust and scalable expression platform has been used to create many clinical production cell lines. In addition, three commercial protein products on the market utilize the CHEF1 Expression platform. The CHEF1 integrated expression platform accelerates the development of cell lines for cGMP production by using robust procedures and chemically defined media and feeds, to produce high levels of recombinant protein in rapid timeframes. See additional information on our CHEF1 Expression Platform and the solutions it offers.
Microbial
Our microbial cell line development capabilities include:
- Demonstrated expertise with E. coli and Pichia microbial expression platforms
- Experience with yeast secretion and E. coli periplasmic secretion, soluble and inclusion body expression
- Cell line stability analyses
- cGMP cell banking and storage services
