Over-expression of enzymes involved in post-translational protein modifications in human cells

摘要

Methods for producing and/or propagating virus particles that are present in a virus isolate obtained from an infected subject by contacting a host cell with a virus particle and culturing the cell under conditions conducive to propagation of the virus particle are disclosed. A method for selective propagation of a set of virus particles which have an affinity for receptors comprising a specific glycosylation residue are further disclosed. Immortalized human embryonic retina cells comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding an adenoviral E1A protein integrated into the genome of the cells and a nucleic acid sequence encoding an enzyme involved in post-translational modification of proteins, wherein said nucleic acid sequence encoding the enzyme involved in post-translational modification of proteins is under control of a heterologous promoter are further disclosed. Methods for production of recombinant proteins from such cells and obtaining such recombinant proteins having increased sialylation are also described.
