Table 1.

A-fucosylation of antibody expression cell lines derived from stable transfection of glycoengineered host cell lines. The host cell lines were transfected with a standard plasmid used for development of expression cell lines for a human antibody (mAb2 or mAb3), or co-transfected with an antibody and a GnT-III/Man-II expression plasmid. The antibody plasmid also contained the DHFR gene, and methotrexate was added to the medium as selective agent. After about three weeks of clone selection, the plates were screened for antibody expression by ELISA. Antibody expressing clones were further expanded into shaken 24-well or 6-well plates to perform a batch culture with a defined cell count at start. The antibody was purified from the cell culture supernatant after 7 days by protein A HPLC. The proportion of a-fucosylated glycans was measured by RP-HPLC or MALDI-TOF MS.
