ExpreS2ion, established in January 2010, is located in the Hørsholm Science Park, north of Copenhagen. It was formed as a spin-out from Affitech A/S (Affitech) which holds an equity position in the company. ExpreS2ion operates as a contract research organization (CRO) offering services related to vector and cell line development, cloning, upstream development, optimization, and production of GLP material using its S2 (Drosophila Schneider 2) cell-based ExpreS2 platform. Two of the company’s founders, Drs. de Jongh and Dyring, and early employees of ExpreS2ion were colleagues for many years at Affitech and Pharmexa A/S (Pharmexa) before the two companies combined. It was during this period that they developed and optimized a S2 expression system for use in the production of therapeutic vaccines. ExpreS2ion’s proprietary protein expression platform, ExpreS2, consists of high-yielding expression vectors, a S2 cell line that grows to higher cell densities than standard S2 cells, an optimized culture media, and a highly efficient transfection reagent specifically optimized for S2 cells…
