Impact of lipopolysaccharides on cultivation and recombinant protein expression in human embryonal kidney (HEK‐293) cells

Abstract The human embryonal kidney 293 cell (HEK‐293) is a widely used expression host for transient gene expression. The genes or plasmids used for the transient transfections are usually propagated and extracted from the gram‐negative bacterium Escherichia coli, the workhorse for molecular biolog...
