Oligosaccharides Hormones Clearance Plasma Receptor Reticuloendothelial Cells
GalNAc- and sulfotransferase activities with the same properties as those expressed in the pituitary are detected at high levels in 293 cells and at lower levels in endothelial cells. Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells do not contain detectable levels of either transferase and rTFPI expressed in CHO cells does not contain sulfated Asn-linked oligosaccharides. 2'-Fucose lactose contains the sequence Pro-Phe-Lys, 9 residues N-terminal to the glycosylation site at position 228; this tripeptide may act as the recognition sequence for the GalNAc-transferase. rTFPI produced by 293 cells, but not that produced by CHO cells, is bound by the receptor on hepatic reticuloendothelial cells suggesting the sulfated structures play a role in the biologic behavior of TFPI.Nuclear Overhauser effect investigation on GM1 ganglioside containing N-glycolyl-neuraminic acid (II3Neu5GcGgOse4Cer).The conformational properties of the oligosaccharide chain of GM1 ganglioside containing N-glycolyl-neuraminic acid, beta-Gal-(1-3)-beta-GalNAc-(1-4)-[alpha-Neu5Gc-(2-3)]-beta-Gal- investigations on the monomeric ganglioside in dimethylsulfoxide, and on mixed micelles of ganglioside and dodecylphosphocholine in water.

Several interresidual contacts for the trisaccharide core -beta- GalNAc-(1-4)-[alpha-Neu5Gc-(2-3)]-beta-Gal- were found to fix the relative orientation of the three saccharides, while the glycosidic linkage of the terminal beta-Gal- was found to be quite mobile as the beta-Gal-(1-3)-beta-GalNAc- disaccharide exists in different conformations. 2'-Fucose lactose are similar to those found for two GM1 gangliosides containing A general strategy for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of asymmetrically branched Wang Z(1), Chinoy ZS, Ambre SG, Peng W, McBride R, de Vries RP, Glushka J, Science. 13 Jul 26;341(6144)357-8.A systematic, efficient means of producing diverse libraries of asymmetrically branched N-glycans is needed to investigate the specificities and biology of glycan-binding proteins. To that end, we describe a core pentasaccharide that at potential branching positions is modified by orthogonal protecting groups to allow selective attachment of specific saccharide moieties by chemical glycosylation. The appendages were selected so that the antenna of the resulting deprotected compounds could be selectively extended by glycosyltransferases to give libraries of asymmetrical multi-antennary glycans. The power of the methodology was demonstrated by the preparation of a series of complex oligosaccharides that were printed as microarrays and screened for binding to lectins and influenza-virus hemagglutinins, which showed that recognition is modulated by presentation of minimal epitopes in the context of complex Conflict of interest statement The authors declare no competing financial Comparisons of the glycosylation of a monoclonal antibody produced under nominally identical cell culture conditions in two different bioreactors.

The murine B-lymphocyte hybridoma cell line, CC9C, was grown in serum-free continuous culture at steady-state dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations of %, %, and 0% of air saturation in both LH Series 2 (LH) and New Brunswick Scientific (NBS) CelliGen bioreactors. All culture parameters were monitored and controlled and were nominally identical at steady state in the two bioreactors. The secreted monoclonal antibody (mAb), an immunoglobulin G(1), was purified and subjected to enzymatic deglycosylation using peptide N-glycosidase F (PNGase F). Asparagine-linked (N-linked) oligosaccharide pools released from mAb samples cultured in each bioreactor at each of the three DO setpoints were analyzed by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection biantennary chains with varying galactosylation. There were also minor amounts of monosialyl oligosaccharides and trace amounts of afucosyl oligosaccharides. The level of DO affects the glycosylation of this mAb. A definite reduction in the level of galactosylation of N-glycan chains was observed at lower DO in both bioreactors, as evidenced by prominent increases in the relative amounts of agalactosyl chains and decreases in the relative amounts of digalactosyl chains-with the relative amounts of monogalactosyl chains being comparatively constant.

However, the quantitative results are not precise matches between the two bioreactors. The effect of DO on galactosylation is less pronounced in the NBS bioreactor than in the LH bioreactor, particularly the shift between the relative amounts of agalactosyl and digalactosyl chains in % and % DO.
