“…Many copies of recombinant plasmid vectors are inserted into the host cell genome, allowing continuous production of the desired foreign protein, after chemical induction, without cell destruction (Johanson et al, 1989;Kirkpatrick et al, 1995;Nilsen and Castellino, 1999;Shin and Cha, 2003;Lim and Cha, 2006). However, as with other insect cell lines, most heterologous glycoproteins produced by S2 cells show a simple paucimannosidic Abbreviations: Fuc, fucose; FucT, core ␣(1,6)-fucosyltransferase; Gal, galactose; GalT, -1,4-galactosyltransferase; GalT, (1,4)-galactosyltransferase; Glc, glucose; GlcNAc, N-acetylglucosamine; GlcNAcase, -N-acetylglucosaminidase; GlcNAcT II, (1,2)-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase II; Man, mannose; Sia, sialic acid; SiaT, ␣(2,6)-sialylatransferase.…”
