CHO-S Cell Line

General Information
Organism Cricetulus griseus, Chinese hamster
Cell Line Description CHO-S is a suspension culture-adapted subclone derived from the original Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line established by Theodore T. Puck in 1957. Unlike the parental CHO cell line, which grows adherently, the CHO-S variant has been specifically screened and engineered to achieve robust growth in high-density suspension culture in serum-free, chemically defined media. Due to its superior growth kinetics, ease of scale-up in large bioreactors, and ability to perform human-like post-translational modifications, CHO-S has become a cornerstone of the biopharmaceutical industry. This cell line is characterized by high productivity and has received approval from multiple regulatory agencies for therapeutic protein expression.

Biosafety Level 1
Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
Applications 1. Biopharmaceutical Production
2. High-Yield Transient Expression
3. Vaccine Development
4. Functional Genomics and Engineering
5. Bioprocess Optimization
Shipped In Dry ice
Storage Temperature Below −140°C or in liquid nitrogen vapor phase
Characteristics
Karyotype Hypodiploid/Aneuploid; modal chromosome number is typically 2n = 20 or 21 (normal hamster 2n = 22); exhibits significant genomic instability and rearrangements over prolonged culture.
DNA Profile (STR) Specific to Cricetulus griseus; verified through species-specific PCR and genomic markers.
Genomic Features Contains "safe harbor" loci such as the H11 locus on chromosome 1q13, which allows for stable and high-level transgene integration without gene silencing.
Protein Expression Capable of complex N-linked and O-linked glycosylation, producing sialic acids similar to human patterns, though lacking certain human-specific enzymes.
Mycoplasma Test Negative
Culture Conditions and Handling
Subculturing 1. Suspension cells do not require enzymatic digestion.
2. Determine viable cell density and viability using a hemocytometer or automated cell counter.
3. Calculate the cell volume required for seeding at the recommended density.
4. Aseptically transfer the cell suspension to a new, sterile, vented Erlenmeyer flask.
5. Add preheated, serum-free culture medium.
6. Place the Erlenmeyer flask on the shaker platform in an incubator.
Medium Renewal Every 2 to 3 days.
Subcultivation Ratio Seed at a density of 0.2 × 10^6 to 0.5 × 10^6 live cells/mL; passage culture was performed when the density reached 1 × 10^6 to 3 × 10^6 cells/mL.
Culture Medium Chemically defined, serum-free medium.
Culture Conditions Atmosphere: Air, 92-95%; CO2, 5-8%; Temperature: 37°C; Shaking Speed: 120-150 rpm (for 19-25 mm orbital throw).
Cryopreservation 90% complete serum-free growth medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) DMSO.
