ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a method for identifying or shielding functional sites or epitopes of proteins that enter the exocytotic pathway of eukaryotic cells (transportable proteins) by the addition of supernumerary N-linked oligosaccharide side chains at chosen sites on the surface thereof using oligonucleotide mutagenesis. The present invention also relates to mutant transportable proteins having supernumerary N-linked oligosaccharide side chains which shield functional sites or epitopes; and genes which encode the same.
