Glycans on cells are complex and structurally diverse. C-mannosylation is involved in physiological processes such as folding, sorting, and secretion of substrate proteins. CD BioGlyco further generates a library of human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells with glycosylation capacity by controlling the C-Man glycosylation pathway, which provides a useful tool for analyzing glycan biosynthesis, genetics, and structural characterization. Our researchers provide Glyco-engineered Cell Construction Service by controlling glycosyltransferase genes required for biosynthetic interactions.
CD BioGlyco provides clients with a comprehensive set of glycoengineering cell construction services based on the C-Man type glycosylation.

Results: In this article, a library of isogenic HEK293 cells with engineered glycosylation capacity was generated using multiple glycosylation pathways such as C-Man. Combined with gene editing tools and guide RNA (gRNA) libraries, comprehensive gene targeting of glycosylation pathways was facilitated. Targeted control of all human glycosyltransferase genes using knockout or knockin to characterize the C-Man glycosylation pathway to construct a scaleable cell library.
