1. A method for producing an erythropoietic composition comprising sialylated erythropoiesis-stimulating glycoproteins, comprising the steps of:
(a) growing a manganese-responsive CHO host cell which produces recombinant erythropoiesis-stimulating glycoproteins in a culture medium containing a concentration of manganese from 0.4 to 40 μM, wherein the erythropoiesis-stimulating glycoproteins comprise a mature protein comprising amino acids 1-165 of SEQ ID NO: 2 or amino acids 1-165 of SEQ ID NO: 3; and
(b) recovering an erythropoietic composition wherein less than 5% of the erythropoiesis-stimulating glycoproteins are lower sialylated.
