Many laboratories have utilized cell-free systems or prokaryotic systems designed to produce biological molecules with single polypeptide chains, limited folding requirements, and without glycosylation. The yeast systems are used to generate glycoproteins; however, their glycosylation profiles are vastly different from those of mammalian cells. Without significant glycoengineering, the yeast-produced recombinant glycoproteins may be unsuitable as therapeutic molecules. As such, the use of mammalian cells is still the preferred method to produce complex biological molecules…
