Recombinant Protein Human EPO

Symansis' purified EPO^hcx has N- and O-linked oligosaccharides, shown by a drop in observed MW on SDS-PAGE after treatment with PNGase F and a further drop in observed MW on SDS-PAGE after treatment with a glycosidase cocktail. Symansis' purified EPO^hcx consists of 25-55% carbohydrate by weight.

Densitometry of protein isoforms visualised by 2-DE. Spot trains are normal in human proteins and highlight the presence of multiple isoforms which differ according to their level of post-translational modification. The triangle indicates the theoretical MW and pI of the protein.
