Environmental effects on protein glycosylation.
Cultured mammalian cells are being used to produce proteins for therapeutic and diagnostic use because of their ability to perform complex post-translational modifications, including glycosylation. The oligosaccharide moieties can play an important role in defining several biological properties of glycoproteins, including clearance rate, immunogenicity, and biological specific activity. There is a growing interest in defining the factors that influence glycosylation, including the cell culture environment. In this review we organize the published data from in vitro cell culture and tissue culture studies that demonstrate direct effects of the culture environment on N-linked glycosylation.
