Abstract: A neuraminidase enzyme with unusually high activity under extracellular culture conditions has been discovered in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and other types of cells. By affecting the neuraminidase activity of the cell culture, the degradation of glycoprotein oligosaccharides produced by these cultured cells can be controlled.
