HPLC analysis of sialic acids released from recombinant variants of human tissue plasminogen activator, human chimeric plasminogen activator, human erythropoietin, and human follitropin, expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells, demonstrates for each glycoprotein the presence of N-acetylneuraminic acid and N-glycolylneuraminic acid in a ratio of 97:3. Structural analysis by 500 MHz1H-NMR spectroscopy, of the enzymatically released N-linked carbohydrate chains of chimeric plasminogen activator and of erythropoietin, showed that alpha 2-3 linked N-glycolylneuraminic acid can occur in different N-acetyllactosamine type antennary structures.
