Today

Complex / Toxic / Hard-to-express

Multi-domain & fusion

THE PROBLEM

Current Cell Lines are not ready for tomorrow's complex molecules, leading to the issue with current platforms

Ultimately, this prevents these powerful drugs from reaching patients. This is because conventionally, once a cell line is created, gene expression is fixed, always on, at a set level.

Low developability

Complex structures often misfold, leading to poor yield and unstable cell lines.

Problems during scaling

Processes that work in small scale fail unpredictably in massive bioreactors.

Reduced program value

High COGS and extended timelines reduce the commercial viability of therapeutics.

OUR SOLUTION

Prolific introduces a revolutionary new approach, deployed in your existing platform

Precise control over the expression of any gene, driving higher titers, superior on-target quality, and precise process control for even the most complex biologics.

How it works

A manufacturing process that works with biology, not against it

HOW IT WORKS

Optogenetic control enables new strategies for expressing complex or difficult molecules while maintaining the same CLD timeline

Optogenetic Host Cell Line Set-up (One time)

Vector engineering

We use light-inducible promoters instead of constitutive promoters


Stable pool to clone selection

BENEFITS

Dynamically controllable protein expression during the cell culture process

Decouple growth from production

Cells grow to high density before production begins, eliminating the growth-productivity trade-off.

Tune expression in real time

Expression levels are adjusted dynamically during the culture process, not locked in at cell line creation, enabling higher titers

Control product quality

Biological pathways influencing critical quality attributes can be adjusted for the desired product profile.
