This investigation is focused on understanding the effect of expression construct (dual promoter vs. co-transformation strategy), codon optimization, and induction strategies on yield and expression stoichiometry of LC and HC genes of antibody fragment at shake-flask and bioreactor scale. rHu biosimilar Ranibizumab was selected as a model protein for the study. Expression stoichiometry of HC and LC gene at mRNA level was studied using RTqPCR, whereas protein expression level was studied quantitatively using RP-HPLC and SDS-PAGE analysis. In the case of dual promoter expression construct, it was observed that LC gene cloned in the MCS1 of the duet vectors has &gt; 2-fold expression than the HC gene, cloned in the MCS2. Transcript abundance profile of the HC and LC genes determined at different time intervals post-induction shows a difference in the gene expression at the transcriptional level. Comparative analysis of dual promoter and co-transformation strategy shows better stoichiometry in co-transformation (1:1.3), whereas higher protein yield in a dual expression system (&gt;2.4 fold). The use of lactose and galactose as inducers show higher Fab yield of 2.30 +/- 0.03 g/L and 2.81 +/- 0.06 g/L with expression stoichiometry of 1:1.9 and 1:2 (HC: LC) respectively than IPTG-based induction with a protein yield of 1.40 +/- 0.02 g/L.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3.978</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
