AtaGenix Laboratories
AtaGenix develops clonally-derived, manufacturing-ready CHO stable cell lines in approximately 12 weeks — from vector construction to a fully characterized Research Cell Bank (RCB). Every line is documented for monoclonality, tested for stability over 60+ generations, and delivered with complete IP ownership transfer.
We support three industry-standard selection systems: G418/Neomycin for rapid research-grade lines, DHFR/MTX for gene amplification and enhanced yields, and GS/MSX for stringent high-producer isolation. Our CHO-K1 host cells and proprietary XtenCHO™ platform enable titers exceeding 7 g/L in fed-batch culture.
Whether you are transitioning from transient expression to long-term manufacturing or building a production line from scratch, our PhD-level scientists design the optimal strategy for your molecule. GMP-grade scope is available upon request.
Clonally-Derived & Documented
Single-cell cloning with image-based monoclonality evidence package
~12 Weeks to Research Cell Bank
From vector build to stability-tested RCB with full QC documentation
Multiple Selection Systems
G418, DHFR/MTX, and GS/MSX options to match your titer and timeline needs
Our stable cell line platform bridges discovery and manufacturing — delivering high-titer, clonally-derived production lines with full documentation for regulatory readiness.
Selection Systems
| System | Mechanism | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| G418 / Neomycin | Antibiotic resistance selection | Rapid selection, research-grade lines |
| DHFR / MTX | Gene amplification via methotrexate pressure | Enhanced expression levels, high copy number |
| GS / MSX | Glutamine synthetase selection with methionine sulfoximine | Stringent high-producer isolation, commercial manufacturing |
XtenCHO™ — Proprietary High-Density Expression
Our proprietary CHO expression system optimized for difficult-to-express proteins. Higher titers and faster development timelines compared to standard CHO platforms. Particularly effective for bispecific antibodies, Fc-fusion proteins, and multi-domain constructs.
