Characterization of the dual landing pads-master cell (dMCL). (A) Southern blot analysis of the number of integration sites of the landing pad 2 in dMCL. Genomic DNA of dMCL was digested with either XbaI, MfeI or NdeI, and resolved in 0.7% agarose gel. Membrane was hybridized with DIG-dUTP labeled probes targeting the NEO gene. One DNA band detected in each lane indicates single integration site of the landing pad 2. The expression cassette in landing pad 2 contained only one MfeI restriction site and none of XbaI and NdeI restriction sites. The dMCL were transfected with one or both of targeting vectors as shown in Fig. 1B to characterize expression capacities of each landing pad. (B) The stable cell pools generated by transfecting both targeting vectors were subjected to flow cytometry analysis. (C) Specific productivity (qP) of producer cell lines expressing mAbs from single landing pads and both landing pads during seven-day fed batch culture.
