Stabilized Wuhan Trimeric Spike Protein

Produced in CHO cells. Available in mg to grams.

We’ve created a stable, clonally derived, recombinant, suspension grown CHO cell line that produces a secreted, stabilized version of the trimeric spike protein of SARS-CoV-2.

This cell line is suitable for large scale manufacturing in chemically defined media. The secreted trimeric spike accumulates in the protein-free cell culture fluid of the cells. Our multi-step, HPLC-based purification process further ensures that the resulting trimeric protein is of high purity (> 95 %).

This protein is now available for applications such as diagnostics, R&D and vaccine development.
