The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris has recently been engineered to express therapeutic glycoproteins with uniform human N-glycans at high titers. In contrast to the current art where producing therapeutic proteins in mammalian cell lines yields a final product with heterogeneous N-glycans, proteins expressed in glycoengineered P. pastoris can be designed to carry a specific, preselected glycoform. However, significant variability exists in fermentation performance between genotypically similar clones with respect to cell fitness, secreted protein titer, and glycan homogeneity. Here, we describe a novel, multidimensional screening process that combines high and medium throughput tools to identify cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). These cell lines must satisfy multiple selection criteria (high titer, uniform N-glycans and cell robustness) and be compatible with our large-scale production platform process. Using this selection process, we were able to isolate a mAb-expressing strain yielding a titer (after protein A purification) in excess of 1 g/l in 0.5-l bioreactors.
