BIO
Dr. Stuart Berger has developed a proprietary method to boost protein expression and the production of monoclonal antibodies by as much as 3‐fold. The method involves overexpression of ABC50, a protein involved in protein translation initiation. ABC50 overexpression also promotes resistance to stress associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER stress), a desirable feature in many situations.
