Abstract

The present invention relates to novel process for the preparation of glycoproteins by mammalian cell culture wherein the sialic acid content of the glycoprotein recovered is optimized by manipulating the cell culture environment. The invention provides for processes in which the sialic acid content of the glycoprotein recovered is increased by addition of copper ion to a cell culture at a concentration effective for stabilization of the sialic acid content.
