Sumario:Mitogenic growth factors are major cost drivers in serum-free media, contributing up to 95% of the total cost. Here, we present a streamlined workflow detailing cloning, expression testing, protein purification, and bioactivity screening that allows for low-cost production of bioactive growth factors including basic fibroblast growth factor and transforming growth factor β1. This generalized procedure can be used for multiple families of growth factors with minor modification, and the outputs are bioactive and suitable for cell culture applications.
