Methods of enhancing the sialic acid content of a CHO-expressed recombinant glycoprotein
In accordance with the present invention, CHO cells expressing a recombinant polypeptide of interest are grown in media where the amino acids, vitamins, phosphate, lipids and/or antioxidant optimization is utilized to manipulate and/or control the protein quality attributes of the polypeptides. Polypeptides expressed in accordance with the present invention may be advantageously used in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions.
Immunogenic composition
The disclosure provides synthetic (e.g. recombinant) pneumococcal saccharide comprising one or more repeat unit(s) .fwdarw.4)-β-D-Glcp-(1.fwdarw.3)-[[α-L-Rhap-(1.fwdarw.2)]-[Gro-(2.fwdarw.P.fwdarw.3)]-β-D-Galp-(1.fwdarw.4)]-β-L-Rhap-(1.fwdarw.. Also provided are conjugates comprising a .fwdarw.4)-β-D-Glcp-(1.fwdarw.3)-[[α-L-Rhap-(1.fwdarw.2)]-[Gro-(2.fwdarw.P.fwdarw.3)]-β-D-Galp-(1.fwdarw.4)]-β-L-Rhap-(1.fwdarw., immunogenic compositions, vaccines and their use in preventing or treating infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae.

HIGH-PURITY PURIFICATION TECHNIQUE FOR Gc PROTEIN
An improved method for purifying Gc protein to a high purity, and a method for producing GcMAF are provided.
According to the present disclosure, Gc protein is purified through a combination of affinity chromatography and anion exchange chromatography, and thus, Gc protein can be purified to a higher purity as compared with a conventional purification method using affinity chromatography alone. As a result, GcMAF can be efficiently produced.
