The present invention provides mammalian cell lines that have been genetically engineered causing such cell lines to be resistant to viral entry and/or propagation, and provides methods of using said cell lines to reduce or prevent viral contamination of biologic production systems.

Viral resistant cells and uses thereof

The present invention provides cell lines deficient in mannosyl (alpha-1,3-)-glycoprotein beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (Mgat1). Also provided are methods for producing the Mga1 deficient cell lines and methods for using the Mgat1 deficient cell lines for the production of recombinant proteins having simple glycoforms.

Production of recombinant proteins with simple glycoforms

The present invention provides non-human mammalian cell lines that are deficient in CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase (Cmah) and/or glycoprotein alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase (Ggta1). Also provided are methods for using the cells disclosed herein for producing recombinant proteins with human-like patterns of glycosylation.

Method of producing human-like glycosylation pattern using cells deficient in glutamine synthase, CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase and/or glycoprotein alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase

Cells deficient in CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase and/or glycoprotein alpha-1,3-galactosyltransferase

The invention provides polypeptides, nucleic acid sequences, bacterial strains, methods and kits for producing exogenous protein. More specifically, the invention provides RNase E polypeptides that posses impaired mRNA degrading activity and efficient rRNA and tRNA processing activity. These polypeptides may be utilized for producing exogenous protein.
