BERLIN, Germany, July 13, 2021 / B3C newswire / -- ProBioGen announced today that they have entered into a research license agreement with Heat Biologics for both ProBioGen's Transposase System DirectedLuck™ as well as for their proprietary suspension HEK293 cell line.

DirectedLuck has been optimized to recognize specific epigenetic marks. It guides the transgene to regions with highest transcriptional activity. This ensures extraordinary high protein expression and maximal stability. The DirectedLuck Transposase is compatible with additional genetic elements in standard expression vector design and can be used with any host cell line. ProBioGen's HEK293 has been optimized for manufacture of proteins and viral vectors and is distinguished by robust growths in chemically defined medium in suspension culture, making it a valuable tool for production in large bioreactors.

Dr. Volker Sandig, Chief Scientific Officer at ProBioGen commented: "We are delighted to sign this Research Agreement with Heat Biologics for two of our technologies. This confirms the value of our patent portfolio, which we have been continuously expanding for years. It is great to see the application of these technologies beyond protein and virus production now also in allogeneic cell therapy."
