Selection of CHO host cell subclones with increased specific antibody production rates by repeated cycles of transient transfection and cell sorting

Optimization of host cell lines both for transient and stable protein production is typically hampered by the inherent heterogeneity of cells within a population. This heterogeneity is caused not only by “hard fact” gene mutations, but also by subtle differences in the cellular network of regulation, which may include epigenetic variations. Taking advantage of this heterogeneity, we sorted for naturally occurring variants of CHO‐K1 and CHO‐S host cells that possess an improved cellular machinery for transient antibody production. The long‐term goal of this study was both to identify host cells that yield recombinant cell lines with on average higher productivity, but also to study the molecular differences that characterize such cells, independent of the site of gene integration or gene amplification. To identify such cells we optimized the procedure for transient transfection by electroporation to a degree that gave uniform transfer of plasmid DNA into nearly 100% of the cells and resulted in reproducible average productivities, with a standard deviation of 16% between independent experiments. Using this optimized protocol, the 1% of cells with the highest specific productivity was sorted and subcloned with a cold capture secretion assay. Upon re‐transfection, the resulting subclones showed the same specific productivity as their respective parental cell line. To enrich for cells with potentially stable improved properties, the 1% highest producers were sorted three times, 2 days after transient transfection each, and the enriched population was again sorted into microtiter plates for subcloning. For each of the two parental cell lines tested, three subclones were obtained that had a threefold higher specific productivity after transient transfection. This property was stable for approximately 3 months, indicating that the changes in productivity were regulatory and not mutational. Biotechnol.

Implications of ignoring telemetry error on inference in wildlife resource use models

Global Positioning System (GPS) and very high frequency (VHF) telemetry data redefined the examination of wildlife resource use. Researchers collar animals, relocate those animals over time, and utilize the estimated locations to infer resource use and build predictive models. Precision of these estimated wildlife locations, however, influences the reliability of point-based models with accuracy depending on the interaction between mean telemetry error and how habitat characteristics are mapped (categorical raster resolution and patch size). Telemetry data often foster the assumption that locational error can be ignored without biasing study results. We evaluated the effects of mean telemetry error and categorical raster resolution on the correct characterization of patch use when locational error is ignored. We found that our ability to accurately attribute patch type to an estimated telemetry location improved nonlinearly as patch size increased and mean telemetry error decreased. Furthermore, the exact shape of these relationships was directly influenced by categorical raster resolution. Accuracy ranged from 100% (200-ha patch size, 1- to 5-m telemetry error) to 46% (0.5-ha patch size, 56- to 60-m telemetry error) for 10 m resolution rasters. Accuracy ranged from 99% (200-ha patch size, 1- to 5-m telemetry error) to 57% (0.5-ha patch size, 56- to 60-m telemetry error) for 30-m resolution rasters. When covariate rasters were less resolute (30 m vs. 10 m) estimates for the ignore technique were more accurate at smaller patch sizes. Hence, both fine resolution (10 m) covariate rasters and small patch sizes increased probability of patch misidentification. Our results help frame the scope of ecological inference made from point-based wildlife resource use models. For instance, to make ecological inferences with 90% accuracy at small patch sizes (≤5 ha) mean telemetry error ≤5 m is required for 10-m resolution categorical rasters. To achieve the same inference on 30-m resolution categorical rasters, mean telemetry error ≤10 m is required. We encourage wildlife professionals creating point-based models to assess whether reasonable estimates of resource use can be expected given their telemetry error, covariate raster resolution, and range of patch sizes. © 2011 The Wildlife Society.     

Reconciling the optimal and empirical approaches to modelling stomatal conductance

Models of vegetation function are widely used to predict the effects of climate change on carbon, water and nutrient cycles of terrestrial ecosystems, and their feedbacks to climate. Stomatal conductance, the process that governs plant water use and carbon uptake, is fundamental to such models. In this paper, we reconcile two long‐standing theories of stomatal conductance. The empirical approach, which is most commonly used in vegetation models, is phenomenological, based on experimental observations of stomatal behaviour in response to environmental conditions. The optimal approach is based on the theoretical argument that stomata should act to minimize the amount of water used per unit carbon gained. We reconcile these two approaches by showing that the theory of optimal stomatal conductance can be used to derive a model of stomatal conductance that is closely analogous to the empirical models. Consequently, we obtain a unified stomatal model which has a similar form to existing empirical models, but which now provides a theoretical interpretation for model parameter values. The key model parameter, g₁, is predicted to increase with growth temperature and with the marginal water cost of carbon gain. The new model is fitted to a range of datasets ranging from tropical to boreal trees. The parameter g₁ is shown to vary with growth temperature, as predicted, and also with plant functional type. The model is shown to correctly capture responses of stomatal conductance to changing atmospheric CO₂, and thus can be used to test for stomatal acclimation to elevated CO₂. The reconciliation of the optimal and empirical approaches to modelling stomatal conductance is important for global change biology because it provides a simple theoretical framework for analyzing, and simulating, the coupling between carbon and water cycles under environmental change.
