Engineering of CHO Cells for the Production of Recombinant Glycoprotein Vaccines with Xylosylated N-glycans
نویسندگان
چکیده
Xylose is a general component of O-glycans in mammals. Core-xylosylation of N-glycans is only found in plants and helminth. Consequently, xylosylated N-glycans cause immunological response in humans. We have used the F-protein of the human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), one of the main causes of respiratory tract infection in infants and elderly, as a model protein for vaccination. The RSV-F protein was expressed in CHO-DG44 cells, which were further modified by co-expression of β1,2-xylosyltransferase from Nicotiana tabacum. Xylosylation of RSV-F N-glycans was shown by monosaccharide analysis and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. In immunogenic studies with a human artificial lymph node model, the engineered RSV-F protein revealed improved vaccination efficacy.

P-152: Expression of Recombinant Human Luteinizing Hormone (hLH) in CHO Cells
Background: Human luteinizing hormone (hLH) stimulates steroid biosynthesis of the ovary, triggers ovulation and prepares androgen production of testicular Leydig cells. LH belongs to the family of glycoprotein hormones that are heterodimers consisting of a common α-subunit and specific β-subunit. hLH is necessary for clinical and infertility treatment. Recombinant DNA technology provides a use...
