Glycosylation of recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 6.

ABSTRACT: Glycosylation of biopharmaceuticals can affect their safety and efficacy. Glycans can occur on recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAVs) that are used for gene therapy; however, the types of glycans that attach to rAAVs are controversial. Here, we conducted lectin microarray analyses on six rAAV serotype 6 (rAAV6) preparations that were produced differently. We demonstrate that O-glycans considered to be attached to rAAV6 were recognized by Agaricus bisporus agglutinin (ABA) and that N-glycans were detected in rAAV6 purified without affinity chromatography. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis showed that the N-glycans detected in rAAV6 were derived from host cell proteins. A combination of ABA-based fractionation and LC-MS/MS re
