Abstract
The degree of sialylation is a major issue in the development of therapeutic glycoproteins. In this study, the feeding of N-acetylmannosamine (ManNAc) to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell cultures was investigated as a method of improving sialylation profile, using a model glycoprotein we call, “Glycoprotein X”. For the purpose, moreover, a simplified 4-step method for sialylation profile analysis was developed without the use of special or expensive equipment. The addition of ManNAc into the culture medium largely improved sialylation of Glycoprotein X in a dose-dependent manner up to 20 mM ManNAc.
