Have you produced viral vectors using CHO? Have you seen any differences or benefits over using HEK?

Maximizing Transient Protein Production

Answer
In general, we find our clients are using HEK, Vero, or insect cells for producing viral vectors or VLPs. Thus, our research scientists do not have direct experience transfecting CHO cells specifically for viral vector production. We certainly have produced a variety of vaccines and viral vectors in other commonly used cell lines.
