Membrane Protein Expression

Production of VIRUS-LIKE PARTICLES (VLPs) or MEMBRANE PROTEINS in adherent mammalian cells for signal pathway ASSAYS and simultaneous monitoring of multiple targets.

Production of proteins

Production VLP-s pseudotyped with membrane proteins
Service specification


Icosagen provides production of virus like particles (VLPs) pseudotyped with membrane proteins, such as ion-channels, receptors, viral glycoproteins etc. For formation of VLPs we use retroviral (HIV-1 or MLV) gag protein. VLP-s we produces in 293 or CHO-based QMCF cell lines.

Produced pseudotyped VLP-s are suitable for receptor or ion-channel functionality investigation, screening of antibodies, immunization experiments, vaccine development etc.






Our advantages

  • Fast and efficient way to produce VLPs pseudotyped with different receptors, ion-channels, viral glycoproteins etc
  • Usage of most widely used CHO cell line in production of biologics
  • Human-specific posttranslational modification pattern using 293-based cell line
