Abstract:We present a highly efficient human HEK293-based cell-free in vitro protein synthesis (CFPS) system that produces 300 µg/ml of reporter protein. The main challenge with the CFPS assay is its limited activity for a few hours, during which all protein is synthesized. If the activity of the CFPS system can be extended, more protein can be produced. The time-dependent inhibition has been studied in the yeast system, but not much is known in the mammalian system. We used the HEK293 CFPS assay to investigate the rea… Show more
