FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to biotechnology and gene engineering. A method for selecting at least one transfected eukaryotic host cell expressing a target product, the eukaryotic host cells comprise at least an introduced polynucleotide encoding the target product, an introduced polynucleotide encoding a DHFR enzyme using at least one expression vector, providing a plurality of eukaryotic host cells, whose viability is dependent upon folate uptake, wherein the said host cells comprise at least a foreign polynucleotide encoding the target product, a foreign polynucleotide encoding a DHFR enzyme, culturing the said plurality of the eukaryotic host cells in a selective culture medium comprising folic acid in a concentration of 12.5-50 nM combined with a concentration of MTX of 2.3-500 nM, selecting at least one eukaryotic host cell expressing the target product.
EFFECT: described is a method of the target product and culture medium preparation.
