Figure Lengend Snippet: Choice of cell line for sACE2 2 .v2.4-IgG1 production impacts pharmacokinetics and glycosylation (A and B) sACE2 2 .v2.4-IgG1 was expressed and purified from human Expi293F (gray) or nonhuman ExpiCHO-S (black) cultures that were both transiently transfected. A 10 mg/kg amount of sACE2 2 .v2.4-IgG1 was injected into the tail vein of human FcRn transgenic mice. (A) ACE2 catalytic activity and (B) protein concentrations based on ELISA were measured in plasma. Data are mean ± SEM, n = 3 mice per time point. (C) N-glycan types from glycomics analysis of sACE2 2 .v2.4-IgG1 produced in ExpiCHO-S vs. Expi293F cells. (D) Abundance of sialylated (Neu5Ac) and fucosylated N-glycan structures. (E and F) O-Glycan analysis of sACE2 2 .v2.4-IgG1 produced in (E) ExpiCHO-S and (F) Expi293F cells. After PNGaseF treatment of protein, O-glycans were released, purified, permethylated, and analyzed by MALDI-TOF-MS. O-glycan structures were assigned using Glycoworkbench software based on precursor masses and the common mammalian biosynthetic pathway. Glycan structures are indicated on the x axis by their m/z ratio. GlcNAc, blue squares; GalNAc, yellow squares; Gal, yellow circles; Neu5Ac, purple diamonds.
