The GS System™ can be easily accessed by contacting the GS team at GSLonza@lonza.com and obtaining a GS Research Evaluation Agreement.
GS Research Evaluation Agreement (GS REA)
A GS REA allows the user to carry out a pre-clinical evaluation of the GS System™ with an unlimited number of products.
Standard GS System™ Package
The current standard package of GS System™ materials to which the user has access with a GS REA are:
• GS vectors and sequence data
• Vials of GMP host cell bank NS0
• Vials of GMP host cell bank CHOK1SV
• Transfection medium system
• Comprehensive technical operating manuals
• Cell bank characterization reports to support regulatory submissions
• Access to technical support from Lonza’s experts in the GS System™ via the GSLonza@lonza.com mailbox.
• GS newsletters (twice a year)
• Technology updates
• In house or on-site training
• Visits to customer sites as part of GS System™ tours
• Technical teleconference following 3 months of using the GS System™
Optional GS System™ Packages
GS System™ customers can augment their standard GS REA package by purchasing other proprietary components together with associated know-how. The current optional packages of GS System™ materials that users can access are:
• Constant region vectors – pConPlus vectors
• Serum-free medium, supplements and feed systems (serum-free packages)
• Chemically defined animal component free medium, supplements and feed systems (protein-free packages)
• Host cell protein Western blotting assays
• Host cell protein ELISA assays
• Methionine sulphoximine assays
GS License Agreement
GS licenses can also be obtained to allow clinical development and commercialization of a product or products produced using the GS System™. However, users will often continue to hold a GS REA, even with a GS license, to allow for continued evaluation of new products in the laboratory.
Services
In addition, Lonza can create and select GS cell lines as a service for customers and can manufacture cGMP product if required. The advantage of this approach is that Lonza brings years of accumulated GS experience to the project.
