Abstract
The present invention relates to the finding of methods to shift the glycosylation profile of recombinant produced semm glycoproteins to the predominant bi-antennary form found in human plasma. This is accomplished by providing a mammalian cell line according to the invention with a series of gene disruptions and/or gene insertions that facilitate this shift.
Claims20
A recombinant mammalian cell line having a) one or more of the endogenous genes Mgat4A, Mgat4B, Mgat5, St3Gal3, St3Gal4, St3Gal6, SPPL3, and FUT8 inactivated and/or downregulated;
- and
- b) optionally a gene ST6Gal1 inserted.
