Abstract

The ability to control and adjust the N-glycosylation pathway of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a key step toward production of therapeutic glycoproteins such as antibodies or erythropoietin. The focus of this chapter is to describe the road from yeast-type N-glycosylation to human-type complex N-glycosylation. The chapter describes the cell engineering and provides the detailed analytical procedures required to perform glycan analysis using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
