Products and processes for in vitro synthesis of biomolecules

Fuente: WIPO "biotechnology"
Provided herein are products and processes for efficiently synthesizing biomolecules in vitro using cell-free extracts derived from mammalian cells and insect cells. In an embodiment, provided is a process for preparing a cell-free extract from insect cells and mammalian cells that efficiently synthesizes post-translationally modified target proteins (e.g., glycosylated target proteins). In some embodiments, a ribonucleic acid is synthesized in vitro that comprises a cap, a 5′ untranslated region comprising an 18S rRNA binding ribonucleotide sequence, and a target ribonucleotide sequence. It has been determined that such ribonucleic acids result in efficient in vitro synthesis of a target protein using cell-free extracts derived from non-rabbit mammalian cells and insect cells.
