Abstract
Recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) is an effective and widely used therapeutic agent that is produced by bioengineering. Modification of the rhEPO protein by glycoengineering increased its already abundant N-glycosylation, which enhances its erythropoietic activity in vivo by decreasing its metabolic clearance. Elliott et al. recently reported increased in vivo activities of thrombopoietin (Mpl ligand) and leptin following carbohydrate addition to both, which suggests that such glycoengineering could be applied to a variety of hormones, cytokines and growth factors.
