glycosylation, which is often critical for function. The first mAbs were produced in the mouse-derived cell lines SP2/0 and NS0, which have the genetic makeup to produce proteins containing
nonhuman glycan structures, such as galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-Gal) and _N_-glycolylneuramic acid1, that can adversely affect safety and half-life. The best example is Erbitux (cetuximab),
produced in SP2/0 cells, clinical use of which has been associated with α-Gal–specific, IgE-mediated anaphylactic responses2. In addition, patients with IgE antibodies to α-Gal may
experience allergic reactions to red meat3,4. The quantity of α-Gal required to induce hypersensitivity reactions is not known; however, it is clear that binding of IgE antibodies against
α-Gal is an important trigger in this pathology2. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution RELEVANT ARTICLES Open Access articles citing this article. *
