Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the production of a glycosylated heterologous polypeptide comprising the steps of obtaining a sample from a crude fermentation broth, incubation of the sample with magnetic affinity beads, releasing glycans from the immobilized glycosylated polypeptides, measuring a glycosylation profile, comparing the glycosylation profile with a desired glycosylation profile of the recombinant glycosylated polypeptide, modifying the culture conditions in accordance to the glycosylation profile obtained, and repeating the process in order to obtain a glycosylated heterologous polypeptide with the desired glycosylation profile. With a similar method diagnostic markers can be identified and quantified.
