2G UNic Platform

Combining optimised expression and gene integration to deliver higher titers, faster cell line development and stable manufacturing, without changing your workflow.

How the 2G UNic Platform works

Increases output at every stage of cell line development, from transfection through to stable production.

At the platform level, this is driven by a significant increase in protein expression per integrated gene copy, resulting from increased mRNA levels, more protein per transcript and more consistent expression following integration.
Applicable across monoclonal antibodies, biosimilars, Fc fusions and complex or difficult-to-express biologics.

Stable integration for high-producing cell lines

Efficient transposase-mediated integration integrates complete genes at multiple genomic loci, resulting in high expression per integrated gene copy and supporting the rapid generation of high-producing stable pools and clones.

A higher proportion of productive integration events leads to more uniform and reliable cell populations.

Boosting expression at every stage

Increases protein production by enhancing both transcription and translation.

The architecture behind enhanced expression

The 2G UNic vector technology incorporates optimised regulatory elements that drive strong transcription and efficient translation, increasing protein output per gene copy.

Higher Titers

Achieve 2–5× higher expression across multiple formats, including challenging biologics, with titers >10 g/L.

Faster CLD

Reduce screening and move more quickly from transfection to high-producing stable cell lines.

Stable

Deliver consistent, long-term expression to support reliable process performance and scale-up.

Consistent enrichment of high-producing clones

  • 2–5× higher titers across CHO and HEK systems, reaching >10 g/L
  • No process changes. Seamless integration into existing workflows
  • Proven across monoclonals, biosimilars and complex biologics

Shifts clone populations from predominantly low producers to consistently high-producing clones

Productivity gains are observed across multiple CHO host systems and selection platforms, including antibiotic, DHFR and GS-based systems.

Demonstrated across:

  • GS-/- systems (e.g. CHOZN, HD-BIOP3)
  • CHO-K1
  • CHO-S 
  • CHO DG-44 

Applicable to:

  • Monoclonal antibodies (including biosimilars)
  • Bispecific antibodies
  • Fc-fusions 
  • Biosimilars

Faster recovery and stable pool generation with the 2G UNic Platform

In CHOZN GS systems, improved integration efficiency and cell viability accelerate recovery and enable earlier establishment of stable, high-producing pools.

  • Recovery accelerated by  >1 week vs random integration
  • Higher viability maintained during selection
  • Faster progression to stable, high-producing pools

Elevated pool and clone performance for faster clone selection

In a biosimilar program, increased productivity at the pool level translates directly into stronger clone performance, reducing the effort required to identify high-producing clones.

  • Elevated pool titers translate into stronger clones
  • Productivity increased across the entire clone population
  • Fewer clones required to identify high producers

Higher expression even in single-copy RMCE CHO platforms

  • Client CHOZN-derived RMCE cell line transfected with a polyclonal IgG library
  • Compared a standard client vector with a vector containing added 2G UNic elements
  • Result: >4-fold increase in IgG titers with 2G UNic
  • Shows 2G UNic can improve expression in single-copy targeted integration systems

Supports targeted integration workflows by improving expression per integrated copy.
