Abstract:
Antibodies of interest comprising a heavy chain signal peptide and/or a light chain signal peptide or combination thereof and compositions are described. The method of determining the signal peptide including creating data set of antibodies signal peptides, clustering, selecting and creating recombinant antibodies for enhanced expression and secretion are described.
Abstract:
We describe a method of expressing a recombinant protein comprising mannose-terminated N-glycans from a host cell, the method comprising: (a) introducing a nucleic acid encoding a recombinant protein into a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell comprising a mutation in the GnT 1 gene (GenBank Accession Number AF343963) leading to loss of GnT 1 function; and (c) expressing the recombinant protein from the host cell, in which the expressed recombinant protein comprises a mannose-terminated glycan structure, and in which the method does not include a step of introducing functional GnT-I into the host cell. The method may be used for producing recombinant glucocerebrosidase with a mannose-terminated glycan structure, suitable for treatment or prevention of Gaucher's Disease.
