Herein is reported a method for the enzymatic production of an antibody with a modified glycosylation in the Fc-region comprising the steps of incubating the antibody light chain affinity ligand-bound monoclonal antibody with a glycosylation in the Fc-region with a first enzyme for a time sufficient and under conditions suitable to modify the glycosylation of the Fc-region, recovering the antibody from the antibody light chain affinity ligand, incubating the recovered antibody in solution with a second enzyme for a time sufficient and under conditions suitable to modify the glycosylation of the Fc-region to a defined form, separating the antibody with the modified glycosylation in the Fc-region from the second enzyme in a cation exchange chromatography, and thereby producing the antibody with a modified glycosylation in the Fc-region.
