Genetic engineering and protein biochemistry - CIGEx

Published on 6 November 2024

​​The Cellule d’Ingenierie Gen​etique et d’Expression (CIGEx) is open to national academic scientific community.
​The CIGEx offers services ranging from molecular biology steps (cloning of gene of interest, genetic engineering) to protein biochemistry (interaction test, recombinant protein purification).

The CIGEx has been implemented with the goals ​​​​of :

  • providing efficient tools and technologies with well established know-how,
  • providing LIMS and quality control at all steps,
  • providing scientific and technological environment for users,
  • providing training for students and researchers​.

Services
  • Molecular cloning of gene of interest using different technologies (GatewayTM, SLIC, Gibson-CloningTM, Restriction-ligation).
  • ​Genetic engineering of plasmids.
  • Recombinant protein production in different expression systems (E. coli and insect cells infected by baculovirus).
  • Screen for expression, co-expression and solubility conditions.
  • Interaction tests by “pull-down” (IMAC, GST) or by immuno-precipitations.
  • Expression, co-expression and purification of recombinant proteins.
