Gibco™ Expi293™ GnTI- Expression System Kit
Description
System kit is centered on engineered Expi293F cells that do not have N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GnTI) activity and therefore lack complex N-glycans. The cell line was established by the selective knockout of the GnTI gene in parental Expi293F cells. This cell line is a powerful tool for the high-yield expression of homogeneously glycosylated recombinant proteins.
Features:
- Homogeneous N-glycosylation of expressed proteins
- Equivalent protein yields to parental Expi293F cells - up to 1 g/L
- Significantly higher protein yields than other HEK293 GnTI- cell line alternatives
- Suspension, high-density culture of Expi293F GnTI- cells in Expi293 Expression Medium
- High-efficiency transient transfection using ExpiFectamine 293 reagent in combination with specialized transfection enhancers
Components included:
- 1 vial of frozen Expi293F GnTI- cells
- 1 L of Expi293 Expression Medium
- 1 ExpiFectamine 293 transfection kit sufficient to transfect 1 L of culture
- 100 mL Opti-Plex Complexation Buffer
- 1 PNGase F Glycan Cleavage kit
- pRABBIT IgG IRES-EmGFP positive control vector
All components of the Expi293 GnTI- Expression System are also available for individual purchase

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
The growth and expression characteristics of Expi293F cells are such that, by 7 days post-transfection, the culture medium should be close to being spent and maximal protein expression should have already been achieved. Continued incubation will result in a large decrease in cell culture viability.
The formation of intact IgG molecules may be quantified using a sandwich ELISA designed to capture and detect rabbit IgG. Besides the rabbit IgG positive control vector, reagents, and consumables that are included in the kit, you will also need purified rabbit IgG to be used as a standard, F(ab')2-Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Cross-Adsorbed Secondary Antibody, HRP (Cat. No. A10547), Protein A Coated Plates, Clear, 96-Well (Cat. No. 15130), TMB Substrate Kit (Cat. No. 34021), SuperBlock (TBS) Blocking Buffer (Cat. No. 37535), and PBS or TBS buffer for washes. There is an example procedure in our Protein A Coated Plates manual (https://tools.thermofisher.com/content/sfs/manuals/MAN0011310_Thermo Scientific_ProteinA_G_AG_Coat_96Well_UG.pdf). Please note that our R&D scientists determine titer values from crude cell culture supernatants using a Pall Life Sciences FortéBio Octet instrument equipped with a Protein A biosensor.
We offer pRABBIT IgG IRES-EmGFP Positive Control Vector, Cat. No. A39243, which you can use to monitor your transfection and expression.
