Rapid high yield production of different glycoforms of Ebola virus monoclonal antibody.

<h4>Background</h4>Fc-glycosylation of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has profound implications on the Fc-mediated effector functions. Alteration of this glycosylation may affect the efficiency of an antibody. However, difficulties in the production of mAbs with homogeneous N-glycosylation...
