Abnova's cell-free protein synthesis system is pioneered by Professor Yaeta Endo of Ehime University, Japan. This high throughput platform is based on the eukaryotic translation apparatus of wheat germ, which has significant advantages over other commonly used protein expression systems. With an expression vector designed for large scale protein expression, the platform is amenable to production of many proteins in parallel using robotic instruments. Assessment of the proteins produced by this technology showed many of them retained their correct foldings and biological functions.
