Is it feasible to load mammalian cells with biochemicals?

26 June 2023 1 3K Report

Hi,

I have a basic question about cell engineering. Is it possible to load or engineer mammalian cells to produce certain chemicals?

Brian Lee

Yes, although it depends on the substance and the type of cells. A recent example is using mRNA vaccines to cause cells to produce COVID-19 spike proteins which act as antigens. Did you have a specific chemical and cell in mind?
