Table 3. Determination of α1–6-fucosyltransferase activity.

Sample α1,6-fucosyltransferase activity
2D production 1,229+/−80
3D production 2,554+/−35
Negative control 62+/−1

Recombinant FLAG-tagged Sf9 FUT8 was produced using the baculovirus-Sf9 cell system and purified using anti-FLAG M2 affinity gel. The fucosyltransferase activity of the recombinant protein was tested with GDP-[14C]-L-fucose, as substrate, after two days (2D) and three days (3D) of production. The transfer of [14C]-fucose is expressed in cpm.
