METHODS OF RECOMBINANT PROTEIN EXPRESSION IN A CELL COMPRISING REDUCED UDP-GALACTOSE TRANSPORTER ACTIVITY

摘要

We describe a method of reducing batch-to-batch variation or increasing homogeneity between batches in the production of a recombinantly expressed polypeptide. The method comprises expressing the polypeptide in a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell comprising reduced UDP-galactose transporter activity compared to a wild-type CHO cell. In some embodiments, the CHO cell further comprises reduced GDP-fucose transporter activity.
