Abstract excerpt
Apoptosis has been found to occur in bioreactors as a result of environmental stresses. The overexpression of bcl-2 is a widely used strategy to limit the induction of apoptosis in mammalian cell cultures. In this study, the effectiveness of wild-type Bcl-2 was compared to a Bcl-2 mutant lacking the nonstructured loop domain in two commercially prominent cell lines, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) and baby hamster...
