Glycosylation analysis of an aggregated antibody produced by Chinese hamster ovary cells in bioreactor culture
Section snippets
Cell culture, antibody production, and purification
The CHO Top-H cell line producing the Ex3-scDb-Fc bispecific diabody 23, 24 was cultivated in suspension culture using serum-free ExCD medium [a mixture of ExCell 302 (SAFC Bioscience, St. Louis, MO, USA) and IS CHO-CD (Irvine Scientific, Santa Ana, CA, USA) supplemented with 1000 nM MTX and 1 mM G418]. The cells were cultivated in a 1-L glass bioreactor (Biott, Tokyo, Japan) containing 750 mL of the medium for approximately 2 weeks. The temperature was maintained at 37°C during cultivation.
Characterization of the aggregated bispecific diabody that accumulated during the CHO cell culture process
The CHO Top-H cell line producing Ex3-scDb-Fc was cultivated in a 1-L glass bioreactor. The cells were inoculated at 3 × 105 cells/mL from the preculture in the mid-exponential growth phase. The maximum cell density reached 50 × 105 cells/mL. The culture medium was harvested after 15 days when the cell viability reached 60%. The final concentration of Ex3-scDb-Fc was approximately 40 mg/L (Supplementary Fig. S1). Ex3-scDb-Fc was purified by protein A affinity chromatography. In the affinity

2021, International Journal of Biological MacromoleculesCitation Excerpt :An alternative strategy to prevent the mispairing problem of light chains is the separate expression of the knob and hole as half proteins in different bacteria (Fig. 4) [68]. However, the lack of mammalian glycosylation modifications may affect the functions of the produced antibody [69]. So far, several antibodies have been produced using KIH technology.

2016, Trends in BiotechnologyCitation Excerpt :Nevertheless, other glycoforms on mAbs also exist, such as high mannose (HM) structures, which is usually in a small portion. Biological studies have shown that the distribution of different glycoforms on the Fc region can significantly impact mAb efficacy, stability, and effector function [4–6]. In particular, afucosylation [7] and galactosylation [8] play huge roles in the antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), two important mechanisms for mAbs to mediate the immune function of killing target cells.
