High-Throughput Sialylation Screening on an Octet Label-Free Instrument: Expediting Clone Selection in Cell Line Development

A high-throughput method for relative screening of terminal sialic acid content was developed on the Octet platform to expedite cell line development. The method is based on the use of ForteBio’s sialic acid (GlyS) kit to bind sialic acid on glycoproteins. The GlyS kit can screen specifically the sialylation levels of secreted proteins in crude cell culture samples and does not require purified samples. Using this method, 96 crude cell culture samples can be screened for sialylation in 60 minutes…
