CD Formulation can design and prepare various therapeutic nucleic acid molecules, such as siRNA and mRNA, using genetic engineering technology platforms based on DNA recombination and gene synthesis technologies. These nucleic acid drugs can directly regulate gene expression and serve preventive and therapeutic purposes.
Genetic engineering refers to the use of engineering design methods at the gene level to design and create a new biological line with a new trait that can be stably inherited by future generations. Its core technology is DNA recombination technology, which involves using genetic material from donor organisms or synthetic genes. This genetic material is cleaved by restriction enzymes and then connected to an appropriate vector to form a recombinant DNA molecule. Subsequently, the recombinant DNA molecules are introduced into recipient cells or organisms to create genetically modified organisms that exhibit specific traits according to the design.
Currently, the advantages of genetic engineering techniques for developing nucleic acid drugs include the following.
CD Formulation has outstanding technological innovation in the field of genetic engineering. We have extensive experience with bacterial, yeast, and other expression systems and can provide advanced technical support to significantly enhance nucleic acid production and quality. The systems we offer have various applications and benefits in different organisms. Below are some common expression systems:

Systems | Descriptions |
---|---|
Bacterial Expression System | Bacterial expression systems include Escherichia coli (E. coli), Bacillus subtilis, and others. Among them, E. coli is the most commonly used bacterial expression system, known for its fast growth, easy handling, and high yield. |
Yeast Expression System | Saccharomyces cerevisiae can perform specific eukaryotic post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation. It is well-suited for producing nucleic acid drugs that necessitate these modifications. |
Insect Cell Expression System | The baculovirus-insect cell system is utilized for expressing complex eukaryotic proteins capable of undergoing post-translational modifications. It is suitable for the expression of large, multi-subunit nucleic acid drugs. |
Mammalian Cell Expression System | CHO cells are widely used to produce biologics, particularly nucleic acid drugs that necessitate precise post-translational modifications. |
The principle of genetic engineering for the preparation of nucleic acid drugs is mainly based on the manipulation and editing of DNA or RNA sequences of organisms by artificial methods to generate nucleic acid molecules with therapeutic effects. These nucleic acid molecules can precisely target specific genes or gene products, interfere with the expression of harmful genes, repair mutated genes, or replace the function of missing genes, in order to achieve the purpose of treating diseases. The process of preparing nucleic acids by genetic engineering technology includes target design, nucleic acid sequence synthesis, vector construction, cell transfection/transduction, and production scale-up.
