abstract：:The erythropoietin (EPO) molecule contains four carbohydrate chains. Three contain N-linkages to asparagines at positions 24, 38, and 83, and one contains an O-linkage to a serine at position 126. We constructed human EPO variants that eliminated the three N-glycosylation sites by replacing the asparagines with glutam...
