Abstract

The present invention relates to a method or process for controlling, inhibiting or reducing protein fucosylation in a eukaryote and/or a eukaryotic protein expression system. Said method comprises carrying out the protein expression and/or post-translational modification in the presence of an elevated total concentration of manganese or manganese ions.
