ProteoNic, the protein expression experts, announces
it has entered into a license agreement with the research organization TNO. Last year the parties formalized their collaboration on improving the expression yields of mammalian host systems using the ProteoNic proprietary UNic™ toolbox. In the past year the UNic-MTee™ (one of ProteoNic’s Translation Enhancement Element products) has proven successful in commercial production conditions using suspension CHO cells and serum free medium. TNO therefore, decided to obtain a commercial license for the production of modified pro-urokinase detection enzymes for use in its proprietary QuickZyme technology platform. The financial details of this deal were not disclosed. Read more

ProteoNic, the protein expression experts, and Genencor, a Danisco Division, have signed a research agreement.
