Direct quality control of glycoengineered erythropoietin variants.

ABSTRACT: Recombinant production of glycoprotein therapeutics like erythropoietin (EPO) in mammalian CHO cells rely on the heterogeneous N-glycosylation capacity of the cell. Recently, approaches for engineering the glycosylation capacities of mammalian cells for custom designed glycoforms have been developed. With these opportunities there is an increasing need for fast, sensitive, and global analysis of the glycoproteoform landscape produced to evaluate homogeneity and consistency. Here we use high-resolution native mass spectrometry to measure the glycoproteoform profile of 24 glycoengineered variants of EPO. Based on the unique mass and intensity profiles of each variant, we classify them according to similarities in glycosylation profiles. The classification distinguishes EPO variants with vary
