Employment:
- Lytic Solutions specializes in E.coli-produced single chain antibody (scFv) production and has provided research, support, and scFv products for pharmaceutical companies and DARPA agencies. Lytic’s in-house fed-batch fermentation capabilites can produce multiple gram quantities of properly folded and fully functional scFvs. We also offer custom protein expression and purification.
Specialities:
- Mammalian cell culture, gene expression, real-time PCR, chromatin immunoprecipitation, Western blot analysis, BAC recombineering, human mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, siRNA, immunocytochemistry and protein purification.
Skills:
- Molecular Biology , Chromatin Immunoprecipitation , RNA isolation , RNAi, dna,DNA microarray, Cell Culture , Cell Signaling , Cell Biology , Protein Purification,Biotechnology, Biochemistry, western blotting, cell
