Cell lines for research, biomanufacturing and viral vector production

Agathos AE1-BHK has been developed for recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) production and other biomanufacturing and research applications that benefit from a mammalian cell expressing the adenovirus E1 gene.

AE1-BHK was developed by transfecting adenovirus E1 genes with selective pressure using hygromycin.

Using existing plasmids and triple transfection techniques AE1-BHK was used to produce rAAV.

rAAV2-GFP genomes from triple transfection of AE1-BHK cells are detected via digital PCR (QIAGEN Qiacuity)

Beyond HEK293

Ethics Meets Excellence

Choosing AE1-BHK for Your Research Needs:
Agathos Biologics is at the forefront of ethical biomanufacturing. We developed the AE1-BHK cell line to avoid ethical concerns that arise from using cells derived from embryonic stem cells or aborted fetal tissue as is the case for HEK293. Consumers and researchers alike are becoming more aware of how products and services are delivered and are demanding companies provide not just quality, but also principled business practices. Embrace a conscientious choice for your research needs, where ethics seamlessly align with exceptional products, setting a new industry standard for research and biomanufacturing.
